"I can only iine," she murmured "It lad you had one night of peace I’d hate to think that you were givingin return So it ood that you slept as well as I did I think weher eyes "Maybe I’ood for rowl "There’s no question of that Now at the risk of sounding like an assle, you’ve got to get up and get rab a shower in the other bathrooh time, you can show me your moves and then I can analyze what you need further work on and we’ll fit it in around your shoots I don’t want you to overdo it I know this shoot is going to be exhausting enough"
"Oh, I’ll be fine," she said as she cli her war to spend more time with you, then I’ll make the time"
God, but she had him so twisted into knots that he didn’t know up from down How could someone so utterly perfect be interested in someone like him, who not only had physical scars but stains on his soul and eht would never heal?
And yet within the short ti parts starting to fill in Like he was regaining all he’d lost during the horrific time he was held captive and taken apart little by little, his very will to live chipped away until he was ready to give up and end it all
