Re: Mike & Kori
Mike took his place beside Kori on the floor, giggling childishly along with her. The movement was jarring enough to his dizzy brain that he had to close his eyes, leaning back against the wall for balance.
"God, I missed you," he said, expression jubilant. "Miss you. Girl, you light up my life."
Just like that goddamn song.
He opened his eyes, turning to look at her again with a soft, silly grin. Maybe there was nothing to worry about after all. It was almost midnight -- going to be a new year, a new start. Looking at Kori, it was easy to believe that things could get better; she'd always done that for him.
