I finished making my coffee then walked quietly to sit on one of the sofas in the living room. It was still early and Dominic was sleeping, I didn't want to wake him. It was a bleak, grey day. The wind and rain battering against the windows. I curled up and covered my legs with a blanket and enjoyed the heat emanating from the wood burner. Sipping my coffee, I sighed. This almost felt normal.

My cup was empty and I was almost drifting to sleep, when I heard Dominic's door to his room open. I sat up as I heard him walk slowly down the corridor and into the room. His hair was standing on end and he was rubbing his eye with one hand as the other gripped his walking stick. He was wearing a black t-shirt and shorts and I looked at his prosthetic with fascination. I'd spoken a lot to Lee about it and done a lot of research on them to make sure I knew how to help Dominic care for it.

"Morning," he mumbled, following my gaze as he looked down at his leg. A faint blush hit his cheeks.

I stood up and walked towards him, leaning in and giving him a soft kiss.

"Morning. Do you want some coffee?" I asked.

Dominic nodded and sat down on the sofa.I quickly made him a cup and sat down next to him.

He sipped it and smiled at me, "You make the best coffee."

I nodded, "There's no end to my talents."

Dominic laughed and wrapped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to him.

"I wondered where you were when I woke up," he muttered into my hair.

"I didn't want to wake you."

We sat in a comfortable silence, Dominic drinking his coffee, the rain battering the windows.

"What are your plans for today?" he asked.

"I have to go to the cafe and pick up a few things but I don't have anything else planned. Do you?"

"I have a session with Lee, that I am pretty sure will mainly involve him mooning after Lols but then I thought I could take you out somewhere later?"

I turned and looked at his profile, "Dominic, are you asking me out?"

He flashed me a grin, "Is that ok?"

"It's perfect."

He kissed me gently.
