Begin Again

Day twenty-nine

Her heart was a feather, drifting through the wind as it pleased, floating through the sky finally to land in his hands. He would twirl it between his fingertips, making her dance and dip, her colours flashing as she moved for him.

She was neither free nor held down, but in a happy equilibrium, her heart in Fitz's pocket and her own body at the same time. And she liked it that way.

"I think that I'm the happiest amnesiac in the world," Fitz said, his voice peaceful and lazy.

Simmons smiled at him. "What makes you say that?"

"Think about it. I woke up next to the most beautiful girl ever, who just happens to be in love with me, and I've had the privilege of falling in love with her in return."

"Oh Fitz, I'm hardly the most beautiful girl ever," she sighed.

"Stop being modest," he scolded.

"I'm not!" she protested. "And are you falling in love with me?"

Fitz smiled dreamily and she could have sworn her insides completely melted. "I don't have a choice."

Physiotherapy tomorrow, she thought happily. He would be able to leave the cage of his bed, even if it was only for the while before he was confined again.

She just hoped that he would be a bit warmer to the physiotherapist than he was to the speech therapist. They had given up on him, and she had decided that he would help him herself. After all, he had specifically asked for her.

It just made her heart burst with joy when he needed her more than anyone else. It had always been that way, and it still was.

So I had 20 hours of work on Thursday and Friday. Yesterday I had to play soccer in a storm. If you kicked the ball it would literally go about 2 metres before landing in a puddle and stopping dead. Then I went home and watched Gilmore Girls for 4 hours straight.

No story recommendation today. I can't be bothered.

School starts tomorrow.
