WHO: Marina and Adam Young WHAT: Remembering WHEN: Thursday evening WHERE: Marina's apartment WARNINGS: TBD STATUS: Closed/Ongoing
The last few days had been some of the most carefree of Marina's life. She couldn't remember her past, she couldn't remember the things that had broken her so completely. There was no Lorien. There was no Adelina. There were no Mogs, no Five, no war, no traumas or people to destroy. For a few days, she got to know what it felt like to live like a normal person - something she'd always wanted to be and never was.
She would have said she liked it, except that when it ended (as good things always did), and all the memories came back, they hurt worse than ever. Only this time, unlike the times before, there was Adam. He was the Hope in the Pandora's box of misery that had been opened, the one bright spot in her world. And she needed to see him.
She didn't know exactly what she'd meant when she asked him to stay the night, she just knew that she needed him and didn't want him leaving in a few hours.
Knowing him as well as she did, she put on a kettle to be ready for tea when he arrived, and sat on the couch, waiting to hear his footsteps in the hallway.
