A few days ago.
Mina had spent hours every day debating whether or not she should go back to Imperium.
She had missed Avery's entire pregnancy despite having wanted to be a part of it, and she didn't think that was her fault. After leaving the city, her body had become weaker and she'd needed to have a doctor hovering over her most of the time. In the end, the doctor moved into the apartment next door just in case.
For months, she'd thought about calling Gabe and telling him all about it. Once, she had even dialed his number but hung up as soon as he answered the call. She had been the one to leave. It wasn't fair to go crying to him when things got tough.
But she couldn't deny she felt something when she heard his voice, something she was not willing to face. For the rest of the term, she only accepted help from the doctor and the two had become fast friends. She'd even told her about why she was experiencing a troublesome experience on her own.
