I Can't Let You Go

Seen and Heard

"Honey, I am home" Kit entered his flat and placed his bag to the floor. He loved to say those words when he arrives home. It was something that he always wanted. 
"Kit, is it you?" Em shouted back from the floor. 
"Did you expect someone else?" Kit laughed and walked to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and poured a glass of water for himself. While he was drinking it he spotted a manuscript on the counter. Seen and heard (Can you see the hole in my head and other ramblings) He read the title. He leaned over it and started to read. It was about her fight. Her hard times, when she had those brain hemorrhages. He took a deep breath. He remembered well. The moments when he thought he is gonna lose her... it killed him inside. 

2012 - LONDON - HOSPITAL

"Where is she?" Kit arrived at the hospital and found Emilia's mother in the emergency room. She did not say a word, just hugged him and started to cry. "Everything is alright. Jenny." Kit squeezed her so close. "She'll be alright. She is strong. She is ... she is a warrior." he raised his eyes to the ceiling, and held his tears back. He has to believe in her. She has to survive, and recover. Losing her... was not an option.
"Thank you for being here," Jenny whispered.
"Thanks for calling me." Kit tried to smile and let her go from his arms. "Ahm... what happened?" 
"She fell into my arms. Her head hurts and suddenly. I... "it was hard for Jenny to talk. "Kit... what if ... what if this time..."
"Last time everything was fine. She ... recovered and she'll recover this time too." Kit was staring at her face. "We are talking about Emilia. She is a real warrior. She is your daughter." he continued. He was not sure of course, they cannot be sure, but he can't accept the fact it can end in any other way. 
"I hope you are right." she took a deep breath. 
"Mrs. Clarke" the doctor stepped to them and he clearly looked worried.

"Spying on me?" Emilia placed her hand to his shoulder and stopped next to him. 
"Did you write this?" Kit frowned and glanced at her.
"Yeah. I ... did not want to show you until the book releases. It will be a book of ... insightful anthology, this time examining mental health. So Scarlett asked me... maybe I want to write one." She admitted and smiled. "What do you think?" 
"It is so you. The words, and how you describe it. Powerful essay." he smiled a bit.
"What's wrong?" Em frowned.
"Nothing" he shook his head and placed the writing back to the counter. "I just... " he turned to her. "I just remembered what I felt. When I went to the hospital. When I saw you there. Unconscious. Then you hardly could talk. It was... scary." he placed his arms around her. 
"It was, and... thank you very much that you were being there with me." Emilia looked into his eyes. 
"You were an important part of my life already. That time. We were good friends." 
"You were never just a friend, Harington. Not a simple one," she confessed the truth. 
"It is good to hear that, because... I can tell the same." he smiled at her and kissed her full lips. "Awww, your lipstick tastes horrible." he made a face. 
"Sorry." she giggled and let him go then opened the fridge.
"Going somewhere?" Kit just realized she was wearing some pretty clothes, she washed hair, and she used more makeup than usual. 

"Yes, the book event will be tonight." she answered, "But I've told you that a week ago, I even asked you do you wanna join or not."
"Sorry, I forgot. My mind is a bit chaotic lately." he sat down. 
"Don't worry. And now you mention. I ... " she started to search for something on her phone. "I am afraid it is just the start of a chaotic period." she sighed and placed her phone in front of Kit. 
"What is it?" he raised it up and started to read.
"My schedule." she hugged him from behind "For Last Christmas. Interviews, premiers, promotions. A bit... thickish." 
"A bit?" Kit glanced at her above his shoulder. "Em... isn't it a bit too much?" 
"That's that. But I'll have a dormant period in the second half of December."' she shrugged her shoulder. 
"Are you sure you will..." Kit worried a bit.
"Kit, I am an actress and there were many messy periods with thrones," Em answered while he turned to her with the chair and placed his hands around her waist. 
"I already hate it." he lowered his head. 
"I know" she kissed his forehead, then look up to the clock. "Gosh, I am gonna be late." she grabbed her bag and kissed Kit once again. "I hurry home" she turned to leave.
"Em!" Kit shouted after her. "Phone." he stretched his hand towards her with her phone in it. 
"Gosh!" Em giggled and kissed Kit again "Thanks, honey."
