“Yeah?”
“Yeah.” Her smile was a reminder of all things good in the world. My world. “You feel like going out?”
“Out?”
“Outside, maybe for a walk or something. It might feel good to get out the house.”
For me or her?
“You been to the studio?” She looked away but I caught her chin and guided her eyes back to mine. “You’ve been here the whole time?”
She shrugged. “I didn’t want to leave you.”
“You could have. Should have…” I said the last part under my breath and she followed it with a kiss.
“I’m yours and you’re mine. We stay together.”
I laughed lightly and kissed her again. “Let me put some shoes on and we can go out.”
I tugged on a shirt, grabbed a pair of running shoes, and she put on slides before heading out back toward the trails I usually ran on. My body was still sluggish but the more I moved the more lucid my muscles felt.
“It’s nice out here?”
She tucked her body into my side and I draped an arm around her shoulders, kissing her forehead. “Yeah. Feels good.”
“I was worried about you.”
“I know.”
I lowered my eyes and hers were waiting. “I’ll be alright in a few weeks. Takes time. Ez made sure my prescription was right this time.”
“I know.” I frowned down at her and she added, “You were in and out but I made sure you took them…” She peeked up at me. “Your pills. The doctor said it was important and that we shouldn’t wait.”
“What doctor?” I stopped and turned to face her.
Who the fuck had she been talking to?
“Dr. Shore. We talked,” she added quickly. “Not about you. I mean kind of but more about what you have. I asked questions. He answered them. I hope that’s okay.”
“Yeah, it’s okay.”
I draped my arm over her shoulder again but when I tried to move, she slipped in front of me and swallowed thickly. “I know you don’t trust me right now…”
I trusted her. She’d earned it. She shouldn’t trust me because I hadn’t.
“I trust you, Cress.”
Her eyes flitted over my face. “I’m not talking about those things that happened, what you thought. I meant you don’t trust me with everything else…”
My disorder.
My hands cupped her face and I brought mine down to hers. I wanted her to see me. To know with certainty. “I trust you. With all of me. Every fucking part of me, Cress. I promise I do, okay?”
And I’m going to make sure you never question that again.
“Okay.” She leaned into me, stealing a kiss. Damn I loved her fucking kisses but more than anything I loved her too because what else could this be that had my heart feeling like it was about to fucking explode each time I remembered that she was here and she was mine.
She was still mine.
