The Town Plaza [2]

Lucian

I look away. Yes... it was hard to say. It's back. After... I think of how many years it's been before losing my train of thought.

Halee

I study him before standing and shaking my head, walking upstairs with Blithe.

Lucian

She leaves and I get nervous for some reason, not liking to be so alone.

Halee

I sit in my bed and turn the T.V on for Blithe before closing the windows.

Lucian

Out of male pride, I stay put and rub my wrist again.

Halee

After closing the windows, I sit back on the bed and watch Blithe.

Lucian

I hesitate before standing and walking into the kitchen for dinner.

Halee

I keep Blithe on my lap and watch him watch the T.V.

Lucian

I open the cabinets until I find the pots and pans one, for some reason not remembering which one it was, and try to pull a pan out. Instead of just grabbing one, I succeed in spilling all of them on the floor. Swearing, I cover my ears and keep the one pan at hand.

Halee

I hear Luce spill pans and chuckle, shaking my head at him.

Lucian

Muttering to myself, I shake my head and try to put them back. I trip on a few of them and create even more noise, falling into the pile.

Halee

I chuckle again and try not to break out laughing.

Lucian

I swear and stuff them in the cabinet again, shutting the door and hesitating before trying to get back to what I'm cooking.

Halee

Blithe falls asleep and I kiss his forehead.

Lucian

The cabinet opens again and all the pots and pans fall out. Shaking my head, I just throw the one pan on the pile and walk away, "I give up."
