Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 241: Toys. Part of my Making An Impression drabble series and follows on from Parted. This is definitely angsty (sorry). Thanks for Fred for looking at it for me, cheers, m'dear.


Abby raised her hand to hammer on Lester's door and stopped at the sight of him standing in the hallway of his flat, looking so dejected that all of Abby's anger faded. Her eyes followed his gaze to the pile of parcels piled on the floor.

“Did you want something?”

Lester sounded so unhappy that Abby had to find out what was wrong. She stepped inside his flat and looked at one of the parcels, the address neatly written on it crossed out in angry black marker, which had also been used to write 'Return to Sender'.

“My children's presents.”

****

Connor strolled towards the menagerie. He had a favour to ask Abby and hoped to catch her alone. He could hear her talking to someone and was about to retreat when he realised how upset Abby sounded.

“How could anyone be that cruel? I might not like Lester much at the moment, but sending his kids' presents back unopened? They probably think he didn't even bother.”

Connor couldn't imagine someone doing that, how love could turn to hate. He stared at his present from James and left to think; he hadn't even asked James his side before he'd walked away.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Sorry, the angst had to happen. Um, possible *beg* Thanks for reading.

Waits for Connor to go to James and give him a chance to explain...(hopes we won't have to wait long)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Connor is thinking about going to James ;) (um, we will have to see what the prompt is).Thanks for reading.

[kristen-mara.livejournal.com]

Meep x 10. That's a possible glimmer of hope re Connor, something which is needed the closer we get to Christmas!!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Sorry. It might be (mainly as it is getting towards Christmas). Thanks for reading.

Poor Lester. That made me a little teary.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I'm being mean to Lester *nods* Sorry, *passes tissues*

[celeste9]

*wibble* That is a terrible thing to do! Poor Lester. But perhaps Connor is going to speak to him now? *crosses fingers*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*hugs* It is a very terrible thing to do to poor Lester. Connor might, possibly. Thanks for reading.

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Oh poor Lester! And I always hate it when I hear of parents taking their differences out on their children. It's so incredibly thoughtless.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I'm being very mean to him. *nods* Lester would prefer it if his ex didn't involve their kids. It is incredibly horrible of her.

[cordeliadelayne]

Oh, sniffle, heartbreaking!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*passes tissues* Sorry, I am trying to get the boys back together. Thanks for reading.

[eriah211.livejournal.com]

Poor LEster! *hugs him*
That was a really mean thing.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*Lester needs to be hugged*

*nods* It was, his ex went all mean on me.

Thanks for reading.

[tay-21.livejournal.com]

Awwwww. *wibbles* Poor Lester. Hopefully Conn will give him a chance to explain himself.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Sorry. I was mean to Lester again, although it does mean Connor's thinking of giving him a chance, so it has got to be good, yes? Thanks for reading.
