Toby is finally done for the day, the last of his patients just having left in his office and he's left feeling mildly unsettled. Sometimes this happens, usually after a conversation with a parent that didn't go so well, and it's always terribly hard to shake.
There are files on his desk he needs to fill out but he finds his head simply isn't functioning enough to actually do them. Instead he closes the folders and gets to his feet and anders towards the stairs leading to their apartment instead.
He doesn't go up them though, oh no. Sitting down on one of the lower steps, he takes in a breath and closes his eyes. The noise from upstairs makes him smile though, lets him know what's waiting for him and it's almost comforting.
Almost.
