Thank you.
You're most welcome, Swan.
I'm glad you found home in the water, Killian.
He wanted to tell her he found home with her, but that might be too soon.
I'm glad you did too :)
So, how was your day?
And so they stayed up all night texting like a couple of teenagers. Things weren't completely back to normal yet, but they were getting there.

Week 6
Tuesday
Emma was standing in the middle of the store, contemplating two items when she thought Killian could help her.
No, it's too soon. It'd be weird.
She decided to get the rest of her things first, and then circle back to this aisle, only to get stuck contemplating the same two items as before.
Oh you know what? Screw it.
Killian was struggling to create his next work-related piece when received a picture message from Emma with the caption-
Which one do you think?
It was a picture of two different floaters. One was Finding Nemo themed, and the other was Cars themed.
Nemo. I can't say no to the water-themed one, Swan.
Good point. But would Liam agree?
Liam? Swan, please don't tell me this is for Liam.
Relax. I'm not getting him a pony. I was just thinking of putting him on floaters for his next lesson.
I can buy him floaters.
Okay...
No, I just mean – you shouldn't have to, love.
Well, I want to, so suck it up
In that case, I could use some extra nappies
And a bottle of kids shampoo
And a new rubber ducky... he flushed his down the toilet.
Ha ha very funny.
WAIT. He flushed his rubber ducky down the toilet? HAHAHAHAHA
They texted back and forth until she almost forgot where she was and why she was there. They texted until she was standing in the middle of the store with a goofy smile on her face.
We texted until we started to feel like us again.

Wednesday night
Love? Are you up?
Emma threw the covers off her face to silence her damn phone. It was the middle of the night and the pull of sleep was just so strong.
