Monitoring

I unravel the paper and find the ring unchanged. It is a powerful symbol, a circle. I know, I know there could never have been another. I knew it then and I know it now.'

Carina had briefed her teams that she would not be present today and had organized everything accordingly.
She had learned, not so long ago, that as important as work was, personal life was even more important. And when it came to Maya, the bar was even higher.

She had almost lost her and no matter what she had to do for her, she would never abandon her. She wasn't going to be able to spend those three days with her, but knew that if she left her in Vic and Andy's hands the next day, the blonde would be well taken care of.

While Station 19 had returned to their barracks, Maya and Carina had gone home.
Even though she could walk alone, the Italian woman had to support her fiancée to the sofa, which she had unmade into a sofa bed.

- "love, I'm fine I assure you, there's nothing wrong with me and I'm not made of sugar, I landed in some grass."

- "your unconsciousness of more than ten minutes and the cuts on your face, however, tell me otherwise"

- "It's okay, I promise. And sorry again about that stupid joke at the hospital."

- "you will be able to make it up to me"

- "Now?" Did she as she grabbed the hips of the Italian who was above her to adjust the cushions under her reclining body.

- "no,... Not... now" she had articulated with difficulty.

-"I didn't steal this one"

- "do you want to eat or drink something?"

- "a caramel latte macchiato with your famous French toast"

- "as a meal?"

The blonde had then made cocker spaniel eyes.

- "please"

- "okay, okay, okay, how can I say no to you with that face?!" Asked the Italian, taking in her hand the chin of the blonde to squeeze her cheeks and kiss her.

- "You can't!" Replied Maya, once the brunette stood up.

- "watch your number Captain Bishop"

- "hmmm I wish you would call me that while we are having sex..."

-"I can't even concentrate when you touch me... How do you expect me to remember this... Be less talented and I wouldn't lose my English to begin with!"

The brunette had then made the meal for them both and prepared the two drinks. When she returned, Maya was on her phone.

- "What are you doing?"

-"I look at our pictures... Now that I have my cloud back... I love looking at our pictures too much and trying to guess..."

- "Don't you want to continue afterwards? I'd like you to finish your hospital story."

-"yes of course" She cut a piece and bit into it. "Mmmm this is so good... You are so good at... Everything, actually" she closed her eyes to savor.

-"I like to hear you make those noises for me... And so... I came in and saw all the roses, the candles and the hanging lights... And you... Sitting there, just like many months before and I approached..."
