Title: Palingenesis
Rating: PG.
Summary: It's a dreadful day, and Gina can't stop smiling.
Date: 2018
AU: Straight
Notes: none.


It's a dreadful day outside, freezing cold, raining that sleety sort of rain that looks gentle enough, but soaks you to the bone the moment you step outside, and ices solid the moment it touches the ground. Gina's nose is dripping, her cheeks are red, her hands are shaking.

She can't stop smiling.

It's a baptism, she thinks. A blessing. God is acknowledging her rebirth with a touch of holy rain.

Her divorce is final today. She has the papers in her hands, crisp and real.

She drops her sodden coat on the ground and practically skips into the kitchen.
