It was the day after Helena's birthday and she'd been thinking a lot about her possible baby, her baby that didn't exist, and the reason why that baby would have been bad. That meant she was thinking a lot about heroin.
Delightful wonderful fucking heroin.
She had to go to a meeting. She told Lee where she was out to and jumped into the Melon - Lucas was sleeping off a hangover and her own car was running on empty - turning the key and kicking the sweet old girl into action. (The goddamn Melon. She hoped it behaved. Lucas had taught her all the tricks but sometimes she'd still only respond to Lucas. He was like the Melon whisperer.)
At the community hall, Helena locked up the Melon and headed inside to make herself a bad coffee and wait for the meeting to start. She spotted Julian across the room and gave him a chin lift of greeting.
