Gladio had found himself much more distracted during his usual Monday errands than usual, too; it was kind of ironic, that he kept getting distracted by how much he just couldn't wait to get home and spend some more time with Nell, but then those distractions left him taking longer to actually finish those errands so he could actually go and do that. It didn't help that his stop at the gym to check on things meant having to print out signs reminding people about proper locker room conduct and not to get too creative with the use of various pieces of equipment.

Although, now that he thought about it, there weren't terrible ideas there, either.

Either way, his lack of focus meant skipping his trip to the store, but he still ended up coming home at around the same time as usual, and the moment he stepped into the house, he was already started to feel better and more relaxed. And he knew that would improve even more once he tracked down Nell.

"Hey," he said, grin maybe even a little more crooked than usual once he did and leaned in to give her a kiss.
