Hitsuzen - A naturally foreordained event. A state in which other outcomes are impossible.
Chapter 7.
The weekend was upon you; it was Saturday evening and both you and Evie were sitting in the garden at Sarah and John’s while you waited for Charlie to pick you up. Your amateur sleuthing had earned you a stern warning from John and yet the harsh words had only interested you further into what was going on with Adam.
“He’s here!” Sarah calls out cheerily from the kitchen.
Evie is quick to rise to her unsteady feet and begins to toddle towards the front door as quickly as her tiny legs will take her, and when Charlie knocks at the door she practically squeals with delight at the prospect of seeing him again.

You open the door with a smile and Charlie grins directly at you before Evie stretches her arms out to the tall man.
“Charlie! Charlie!” she demands, wanting him to take her from your grasp.
“Hello there young lady!” he chuckles as you lean her towards him.
He balances her on his side as she leans her head on his shoulder and you never thought you’d feel slightly envious of your own daughter in such as way as you do now. Her chubby fingers grab at his shirt as she gives him her version of a cuddle and John has to shout out for you both as you suddenly realise you were still stood at the front door.
