Isra rolls her eyes when Sera doesn’t agree but a smile tugs at her lips regardless as she sighs and mouths you suck to one of her best friends. She supposes she had it coming. She had known when she was supposed to be done the book. But life had a way of getting in the way recently and she hadn’t gotten around to it. Which is why she’s sat in the book club now, without a clue as to what anyone was talking about and a vague recollection of the characters themselves. Isra nudges Sera back, scoffing. “Yeah, ha-ha, Hugo was the best part,” she makes a face, sticking out her tongue as other book-club-goers begin to chat amongst themselves. “That’s the last time I ask you to cover for me, Ser.”

“Yeah, he really was. What did you like best about him?” Sera continued, her grin managing to reach from ear to ear now at her closest friend. “I kind of liked how he...” Didn’t exist. “Was written to have cute big dark eyes.” Sera chuckled, thinking of Hugo The Dog again. She didn’t judge anybody for not having the time to read, but she had to admit it was funny to see Isra a little clueless. “I was being honest! I like the lengthy books, I can get stuck right in. I wonder if Doris will recommend another steamy one like last time.” she nudges into Isra’s arm and laughed, giving a little nod to the tiny old Doris who had a rather impressive erotica recommendation list.

“Take as much time as you need, I got you.” He reminded her, humming a hushed sound for comfort. Dewey rubbed her back, trying to soothe her back into the present the best he could. It wasn’t fair that she had to relive that horrifying moment after all that time. “Are you sure? We can leave. I can come back and get towels and stare at action figures anyday. It’s not that important.” Nothing was more important than her being okay. Air seemed arbitrary compared to the wellbeing of his wife. He nodded, understanding just how stupid brains could be. His seemed to go a mile a minute and never slow down enough to realize some of the bigger details if he wasn’t focusing on them. Like completely missing his wife wasn’t with him two aisles away. He let out a soft sigh when she mentioned Rosie and gave her a sad smile. “I know, I miss her, too.” Unable to be serious for too long he mocked looking around for the guy. “Where’d he go? I’ll go find him and arrest him right now. We’ll ban whatever he smells like and exile everyone who looks like him immediately.” Dewey joked, keeping his face serious like that was something he could actually do.

It was hard to ever know what was worse, the tightening of her chest where her lungs kept her breath like a prisoner, or the way her vision slowly darkened into a tunnel or how she could feel like a burden that Dewey ever had to help her when she got like this. “I’m sorry, I’ll...I’ll be fine.” Seraphine took a sharpened breath and held onto her husband for dear life. “I um...I put the He-Man in there...already...to surprise you.” she pointed to the cart, trying to focus on a positive to pull herself away from the fear that trapped her. “It’s under the eggs.” she laughed slightly but tears were falling from her eyes that she had no control over. The memories of Rosie would never be forgotten, but Sera wished they weren’t tainted with the pain now that followed them. Remembering shared laughter was always quickly replaced with the night that took it all away. “No, oh Dewey.” she touched his face, using her other hand to rid the tears she was embarrassed about. “You do so much already. I love you. We can...we can go but let me get the He-Man for you, please.”

Lately Dewey was at half energy, which was probably a normal amount for regular people. Late nights and early mornings were starting to take their toll after a month and a half. Which unfortunately meant him completely missing the incoming signs of Sera starting to panic. It wasn’t until he was around the corner at the department store and spotted a bunch of new cartoon action figures he didn’t have. “No way! Pumpkin, look at this, they have Alf, do you remember Alf?” But when he looked over to where she was a few minutes before Sera wasn’t there. “Sera? Seraphine? Hon?” His head moved in quick jolts around to see if she was somewhere down the aisle or something. He turned the cart around and finally found her. “Hey I was looking-” he stopped when all the signs finally flashed red, some detective this guy was. “Darnit, dumb Dewey.” He scolded himself aloud and moved in to wrap tight arms around her not only because he loved her but the tight pressure is the biological way to relieve some anxiety. A weighted blanket would be better but that was at home. “Hey, hey - do we need to get out of here? How can I help?”

- 

It came in waves and even with all the support and help she had managed to receive over the years, it didn’t stop the tides. It could be anything, the way somebody walked a certain way or a word. It would all take her back to that night and remind her that her dear husband lost somebody he loved so much and she couldn’t do a thing to stop it. She froze in the same way as she did that night, useless to trying to stop the attacker of his sister just like she was now. All because somebody passed her, wearing a similar cologne. A smell she didn’t even recognize herself but some part of her brain did. “I...” she could hear her husband’s voice, but it was muffled and warped. “No, no I’ll be okay.” she whispered when she heard his voice, sinking into his arms and squeezing him back. “It’s just my stupid brain...” she cried into his shoulder but also laughed, thinking she was probably making a fool of herself. “I’m sorry, sorry I...it was just the...” she pointed but the man had already gone. “I miss her so much.”

+ SERA LAST CHAPTER

Isra listens to her friend’s comment on the book for book club she hadn’t gotten to and nods along, thinking that everything Sera was saying made sense. “Yeah, exactly,” she verbalizes, gesturing in Sera’s direction. “I couldn’t have said it better myself,” Isra pats the book in her lap, which, of the 500 pages, she’d read 25. “ Maybe next time we can pick a shorter book? Could give us more discussion time, right?” She subtly nudges Sera, as though encouraging her to agree with this criteria for the next. @sera-ehrlich​

- 

Sera often just trusted the things people said at face value, but it wasn’t until Isra asked for a shorter book that she gave a quick sideways glance and tried to hide her smile. “I don’t know, I kind of like...getting stuck in.” she tested the waters, shrugging sweetly before the chatter started among the other book club goers. She leaned a little to Isra, gently nudging her. “So, that ending, huh? Never thought it would have been Hugo all along. We didn’t even meet him until chapter seven.” she suggested, expecting Isra to not know what on earth she was talking about. Neither did she, she just thought of the word Hugo because she met a dog called that this very morning.

                                                            Nothing that he could see was going on so Dewey took the opportunity to go cozy up to his wife on a cot and play with her super soft hair. It smelled so good he could eat it, but that was probably weird to say or even think. “You doing okay, my queen?” The question came out in his version of a whisper which was more like a low rumble. He was hoping the stress of everything wasn’t weighing on her too much. “Because I can stay here as long as you need me to, nothing is going on and if it is I’m sure Art or Gabe would take care of it.” He’d already changed into sweatpants, a t-shirt, and a hoodie anticipating getting a few hours of sleep before he did another round of the school. Dewey placed a kiss on top of her head and smiled at how good it felt to have her there. She fit so perfectly. Gosh, he loved her so much. “Knock, knock,” he said with a silly smirk, ready to make her laugh just so he could hear it again.

Seraphine was happy to be cuddled up together, even if she knew that it couldn’t be all night. It was funny how spending every day with the same person never drove her mad, she heard so many marriage jokes that made her wonder if they even married the right person. She knew she had, even if he was a little goofy, but that was precisely why she loved him. “I am more than, more than okay.” Sera replied with a big content sigh and squeezing up to him tighter. “Don’t say that, because then I’d keep you here the whole weekend.” she chuckled, glancing up to look at him. “As long as you keep coming back that’s all I care about.” When Dewey lined up the joke, Sera was laughing before the punchline had even hit. “Oh...coming! Who’s there?” she answered in character, leaning up to plonk a few kisses on Dewey’s face with her words. She knew it was going to be good...or terrible. But the terrible ones were sometimes even funnier, and made her belly laugh and snort like a piglet.

the idea of going to college was terrifying, but she wanted to become a teacher and it turned out that it was the best thing she ever did. she met dwight ehrlich there, and eventually went on to marry him even though she was a liddle bit shy about getting to know him at first.

sera suffers from depression and anxiety, but she’s medicated and sees a therapist so it is in check for the most part. sometimes the waves can hit from nowhere, but she always gets through it. 

she teaches accessible education at edison high school and she LOVES helping people.

is very obsessed with her husband, even though she knows he’s a bit goofy but he makes her laugh so much and she adores him.

bakes apple pies a lot, because it’s the main thing she can bake well.

isnt the best cook but TRIES LOL 

doesn’t want to get involved at all with either the bikers or the mafia, she kind of pretends she doesn’t hear the rumors and keeps herself to herself.
