Zelda started upwards, eyes flying open. There was a crick in her neck, now. She looked up and her eyes widened further, because here he was, waking her up. Alive and standing awkwardly with his hands in his pockets and alive. Even as Ari had raised the possibility Zelda had never really thought that he'd survive the journey and come back on time. This was part of why she'd been so opposed to the notion of marrying him - she never thought that Mr. Darrow would be here to marry.
It was as if looking at him kickstarted her heart; it thumped uneasily in her chest. Oh. He looked - well, just as he had when she'd left him, if more clothed. She remembered the gentle way he'd pressed his lips against her shoulder. She also remembered the horrifying lurch of confessing to Ari.
"Hello, Mr. Darrow," she said, still on the bench. She blinked up at him. "I think I may've dropped off for a moment there." Well, obviously. It wasn't an interaction with Mr. Darrow without awkwardness.
