Re: In-person: Amy M/Si M
The squeeze to her knee was grounding. It was strange, maybe, but it reminded her she was in this body, here and in this car, and the familiar music helped too, slow and sultry like it was. It reminded her of soaking in a warm bath a little, which she couldn't do at the trailer, and she really liked having someplace to go where she wasn't property.
Si crinkled his nose, and she laughed a little. "I think I can maybe live with you. Even though you're kind of messy," which was mostly hypocritical, since she hoarded things and collected things and liked being surrounded by comforting clutter. "And we'll need to make rules about who you can bring home," she added, pretending she was serious, and it was kind of nice to plan for later, after, something that wasn't this escape in the night from something terrible and too reminiscent of the past that had altered their lives forever.
