Now Sheldon was alone. He stood in the middle of the path, staring blankly at the trees above him. The only thing that actually stays the same is that things are always changing. His eidetic memory made him remember that conversation with Penny. It seemed to have taken place ages ago. And yet here it emerged again, perfectly fitting that situation.
Sheldon had always hated change. He could not understand it, he could not control it. Besides, how could he control what was happening now?
Minutes passed bye. He remained still, deep in his thoughts, when suddenly a voice, coming from behind, startled him: «Are you ok??» asked his wife, panting.
Sheldon slowly turned around, and the second their eyes intertwined he burst into tears.
«Oh Sheldon!» Amy clinged her husband's chest.
«What am I supposed to do, Amy? I don't know what social conventions dictate! I never knew, in any situation!»
Sheldon buried his face in Amy's neck, so she gently started stroking his hair.
«There is no social convection for this situation, Sheldon. You just have to be strong for your friend, as I will be for Penny»
«How can I be?» Despair seemed to fill every word coming from Sheldon's mouth.
«I don't know, I'm sorry... But we have to»
«It seems surreal...»
«It does. But we'll figure something out together. We are a team, right?»
«Yes...» He paused, then added: «I love you»
«I love you too»
There was another pause. Sheldon closed his eyes and listened to Amy's heart slowly returning to a normal pace.
«We should go home now...» suggested Amy.
«Yes, you're right»
Sheldon took Amy's hand in his and then they walked back home
