— you know that?”

Admitting it was so nice. Being here like this with him was nice. Hell everything was nice and she was sure once she was up the next morning a new song will be created in memory of him. Just for him.

— she even cut into little hearts. A few are popped into her mouth and she’s licking at the remnants on her fingers. Then she moves for a bowl to place the fruit in with the chocolate and cream nearby. Autumn then makes her way over to him and leans against the counter with a grin.

“I love you, —

The box has her laughing and clapping her hands excitedly. “Deal! You know, it’s been years since I’ve had chicken nuggets like these?” She teased softly as she rummaged around for a knife then cutting board.

She washed the fruit first and then began to cut them into chunks and slices. Some —

— some cream and chocolate, maybe some sandwiches? Or chicken nuggets— those are good too!” The snicker that left her lips had her covering her mouth.

With him, she can be her silky old self.

— mentioned with this matter of fact tone but the shining of her eyes gave her away. Grabbing at his hand and pulling him up, she went back into the kitchen then stood in the middle with her hands on her hips.

“What do you think sounds good for lunch? I’m thinking a little fruit board with —

“Of course! Vacation time away from you? I’ll never say no to that.” She giggled and winked at him before she squeaked and jumped at his touch.

Red flew across her cheeks and she playfully stuck her tongue out at him. “Yeah, again. It has been a while since we had breakfast you know.” She —

She remained still however as she spoke, looking down at him with a smile and adoration in her eyes. Give her a minute —

“Yes, almost, we do have work we have to do.” She mentions with a playful roll of her eyes. “But I’d love to just exist like this with you all the time.”

— this every day. Well, almost every day.”

— memorizing each dip and curve of him, feel the way his skin felt against her fingers.

“You do good, believe me, I’ve never been happier.” A few kisses and then she’s laying her head on his chest and nuzzling into him. Her fingers are now rubbing small circles on his side.

“I can’t wait to do —

Her thumb slowly rubbed across his skin and she could do this all day, just sit like this with him —

— I just want to continue making you as happy as you make me.”

— her fingers were real, solid and eased any anxiousness about him disappearing out of thin air or this being an elaborate dream.

“I want to support you in all you do, David and I mean that. I’ll be there with you through thick and thin and help take care of you and the house as I need to. —

“I want to be yours.” She said immediately with a smile. She already knew that she was his but saying it just made her happy, made everything just a little bit brighter.
