[It took a moment for the realization to come full circle to Renée. The bomb that had hit and there'd never been any way to reach Roe once she'd recovered from those injuries and she had plenty of work to carry on herself. There'd simply been no time for it even if there had been a way.]

I've been working at one of the hospitals still. [Even if she had had her fill there was still too many men that still needed caring. She was waiting for the day where she wouldn't feel guilty stepping away from the medical and doing something different with her life. She still felt caught in that sense of duty.]
I was on my way home, though. We could get some coffee and a meal, if you're hungry that is? [She asked, only a moment of hesitance before doing so. This wasn't a serendipity that she wanted to walk away from.]
