Autumn, the wind is crisp, the skies are cloudy, the leaves change colors.. it's a beautiful season. Not for Aiden, for him it's a constant reminder of Lena, of her death, of Jackson and of his sister, Nicky. His family, the one he had to drive away for their own safety, to protect them from the monster he created. This season reminds him of his loneliness.
It had been over a year that Aiden started coming to this little coffee shop in parker square, a warm, cozy spot, like home. The owner, (y/n), was this kind, gentle woman, one who didn't judge Aiden for the demons of his past, one who didn't judge him for being ''the fox'' or ''the vigilante'', to her, he was just Aiden.
It was a rainy evening, he had come in for a coffee, black with a splash of sweet cream, she already knew his order from memory from how often he came to the shop, no need to ask. She made a tea for herself, earl grey with a tea spoon of sugar and milk, and went to sit with him. The rain made the coffee shop empty, so it was only them. There were no words needed, just each others company and peace.
Warm coffee and a evening with a friend.. maybe Aiden wasn't that lonely after all.
