alicia_hThe 9th and 10th Drabbles for the Drabble Tree challenge at writerverse. I didn't write 15 drabbles in the end due to spending last weekend in Cardiff for a roleplaying event and coming back with a massive cold.

Gwen is home. Her heart is here, with Rhys and with her daughter. She watches a family wander up the plass. The mother points towards Gwen. The teenage boy and girl glance at the fountain, their gazes sliding up and across to the Millennium Centre, crouching like a gigantic armadillo behind her.
All three know Gwen's here. They just don't see her.
