Summary:

Colby comes home from his first counseling appointment. 

Work Text:

Cookies—

Charlie paced around the kitchen, hoping he’d got the timing of the cookies right.  Colby should be back soon from his first appointment with the VA counselor.  Since it was Charlie who pushed him to go, he was anxious for it to have gone well.  Or if not, at least offer some fresh cookies in apology.  He chose a lopsided chocolate chip cookie and picked it apart.

He heard the front door open and Charlie scooped up the plate of hot cookies.   Putting a smile on his face, he pushed open the kitchen door.

Colby was dumping his wallet and keys on the side table.  He looked tired and drained, the skin around his eyes red.

“So, how’d it go?” Charlie asked with determined cheerfulness.

Staring down at the table, Colby said dully, “He said I should leave you.”

The plate slipped from Charlie’s fingers and smashed at his feet.
