Good. Some of the nurses already believe that he talks to himself when she
isn't around. She's much better company.
All of it is encouragement and this fantasy is easier to let himself fall
into than others. He returns the kiss with another and one more for good
measure. In some ways, it's how he knows she is still real. He won't speak
about the lingering doubts that are created when there is any distance
between them. He'd like to keep it going so he waves to the food.
It would break his heart if she ditched him now, but he wouldn't blame her.
The same goes for had she left when he was soulless. He was a douche canoe.
As far as he's concerned, she's trying to break the mold and be better. Her
example has helped him through some of his hardest inward battles. He won't
let her down now because her disappointment isn't something he could face.
He smiled into their kiss with her reaction. "I hoped it would be. If you
don't mind, let's make this a proper one." The sound of a seventh date is
good. They had five proper dates before he jumped into the pit, and the
sixth was right now. He loved how she kept adding them on as it made him
hopeful for his recovery. They could have sex later, or soon enough. A
little conversation, food or TV was what he needed first. He needed a taste
of reality, badly, without alarming her.
