"JOHN, I ALREADY TOLD YOU, I DON'T FEEL GOOD." may fernsby truthfully expressed to her boyfriend, murphy. last night had been horrible to her considering what she did to herself, and she hardly got any rest. her anemia was not being so kind to her as well, her joints were aching, which caused her to feel a bit dizzy.
"oh c'mon." murphy persisted eagerly, "prove it to me then." he gently grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the chair she rested on, "dance with me, my love."
old music blasted softly through the speakers of the island's house while murphy was cooking a recipe he found in a cookbook. the two basically had the house to themselves, except nini was upstairs in a bedroom napping. may had no idea how she was able to fall asleep through the music, but the girl was a heavy sleeper, that was for sure.
murphy placed his one hand on may's waist and had his other holding hers, putting them in the slow dance position. as they began to move side to side may groaned over dramatically, "john." she whined, about to continue her complaint when murphy spoke up instead.
"just rest your head on my chest." he suggested, not wanting their moment to end "it's not like we're break dancing." may willingly complied and did so, now being able to feel his heart lightly thump against his chest. she smiled lightly, this moment was definitely something she was going to remember for as long as she was going to live.
"i just wanted to dance with you." he murmured softly in her ear, "considering this'll probably be the only time we'll be able to do something like this."
after hearing what murphy said, may lifted her head off his chest and looked at him, growing curious as to why he'd say such a thing, "how come?"
murphy smacked his tongue against his teeth and shrugged casually, "well, we're gonna be trapped inside for the next five years and i'm not expecting it to be all sunshine and rainbows."
may scoffed at murphy's remark, continuing to sway gently at the music's rhythm with him, "bold of you to assume we'll need music to do this." she smiled at him, "and if not, we'll find something to do. just don't expect us to take cover in a cave playing twenty questions while a cloud of dust swarms us." murphy couldn't help but chuckle in response, but that didn't keep may from adding on, "or laying in the wet grass while the rain pours on top of us, or pumping a dead girl's heart for the sake of humanity." she flashed a sarcastic smile at him, "need i go on?"
