Lucy wakes up at around midnight still wrapped in Tim's arms. She carefully gets up trying to not wake Tim. Unfortunately having a boot on your leg doesn't really make that easy. Tim wakes up.

T: What time is it?

L: 12:26

T: Why aren't you asleep?

L: Hungry.

T: I'll make you something.

L: I'll just have some of the soup it's fine you sleep.

T: No cmon I'm not having you wake up just for cold leftovers.

They both head over to the kitchen, Lucy sits down on a chair.

T: Anything in particular you want?

L: Just some that tastes good.

T: Pasta?

L: Yeah sure. Just some basic pesto.

T: Ok.

L: Maybe I shouldn't be eating. I'm probably going to just throw it up again.

T: Better to eat than not.

L: I guess. Here I'll help.

T: All I need to do is boil pasta and sauce it.

L: I feel useless sitting here all day I'm going to help you.

T: You grab the pasta I'll get the pot then.

As she reaches up into the cabinet Tim gently holds her waist and pulls her to the side slightly.

T: Sorry just needed to find a spoon. I know you're going to start snacking on peanut butter while we wait.

He reaches over her to grab the peanut butter and lets her go as he goes to get a pot.

L: You know me well.

T: Still think you shouldn't be up too much. Where are your crutches?

L: Bedroom.

T: You shouldn't be walking without them.

L: I know.

They start cooking the pasta.

T: So what do you wanna do while we wait?

L: I don't know.

T: Well firstly you sit down.

L: Yeah alright.

She sits down.

L: Come here.

He goes and sits down with her.

L: Is Tamara ok? Like when you got to their place....

T: Apart from that injury she's alright. She did the right thing calling 911.

L: How's your face doing. Come here.

She shifts over to be closer and moves to face him.

T: You're the one I should be worried about boot. Pregnant and shot.

L: Oh stop calling me boot or I'll stop talking to you.

T: Hm... No.

L: You're lucky I'm your girlfriend.

T: That's true.

L: Oh someone's getting flirty aren't they?

T: Just my natural charm.

L: Yeah sure whatever you say.
