[ frank leaves jessica's place in much brighter spirits than he would have expected given the night they'd had, but elektra had a way of cheering him up. he stops for groceries on the way home, a strange sort of relief settling over him when he makes it in the door. his little house with his family had never felt like his, rather theirs and he was just visiting, stopping before getting shipped out again. however shitty, this place is just his and it's comforting on a day like today.
he bought a bouquet of orchids in anticipation of elektra's arrival, dropping them in his vase before putting away anything perishable and going to wash himself up. the more he tries not to think about jess, the worse things get, so he ends up embracing that too. he wonders if she's working or if she went back to sleep. he doesn't know which would be more merciful at this point.
frank dresses in clean (but predictably still dark) clothes and sets about prepping their meal. he doesn't know whether elektra will be early, late or on time so he takes his precaution in getting started as soon as he can. he puts on a pot of coffee to stave off his own hunger and sets to work. by the time she gets there his little space should smell amazing. ]
