EVERY DAY wasn't a perfect day.
They had officially hit a month and a half, and America could no longer sit still. The fear of going outside had become so instilled in her daily routine that it was all she could think about. The last time Ace tried to get her to step outside to get some fresh air, things didn't end well. America argued back and forth that she was content with staying inside and convinced him to believe that if she were to open a window and stick her head outside, she'd be getting the proper amount of sunlight to make up for the days she'd stayed holed in. Regardless of her striding across the apartment floors in anxious circles, Ace took time to find reassuring words to share with her. Nothing really worked, anyway, though she was grateful for him caring.
