[ willie had been up for hours — pacing the kitchen, the living room, even going outside to sit for a while — right now he's sitting at the dining table, holding his head in his hands and gripping onto his hair as he tries to stay awake. his eyelids are heavy and his body feels like it's about to collapse, but he's not letting himself fall back asleep. ]

[ willie is kneeling in front of josie who's sat in a dining chair, cleaning up a cut on her knee since she'd scraped it outside playing. he's making her laugh so she's distracted from it, and neither of them even hear ford walk in. ]

[ willie had been in asleep in the hospital for almost a week at this point, and they were starting to lose hope that he'd even wake up. one night when bea and ford aren't there, they figure out the curse and willie wakes up, sitting up with a wince as he looks around the room, confused. he rummages around the bedside table drawer and pulls out his phone, shakily dialing ford's number. ]

@lonesomecurse   *   [ he smiles weakly, ]  i love you.

[ willie had been sitting with josie where they kept the pigs on the farm, smiling as she ran around playing with all the baby piglets. he was keeping an eye on her while ford was working, turning when he hears ford's footsteps and smiling, ]  hey. she's having the time of her life.
