So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJduM5ZsGLv
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl1Cz6omkB
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMZtbMIY4D
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeAktrd37O
What's worse, is that in the line for the doll, I was in front of a man who was sneezing and coughing nonstop. When I came home I was feeling a bit stuffy, and I blamed it entirely on the cold. Obviously, I was wrong.
Evetta woke me up at two a.m. to inform me that I was roasting, and that she wanted me to take Panadol Cold and Flu; she then all but shoved the two tablets down my throat, and pushed a glass of water into my hands. That's when I realised that Sir Germs A Lot fucked me over.
She's been taking my temperature every half an hour ever since.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYwXim4keQ
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoIkNA0kh2
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKR9yHpF8t
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98dMDebB4d
I feel like shit. My insides feel hot, and everything outside feels cold. My nose is clogged, so when I talk, I sound like Barney.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi52rlzNtlX
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwCM0KSZ8V
Then, something occurs to me. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCMhgc45Df
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jY0LzzT4X
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgRrNoWzZv
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRltjn0UQ5J
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkeEAGZnWe
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfi8s3gWlK
"You're sick."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp20R1zDRf

"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbkRiDVqVL
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdY9Obk2F2
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv6x8LeSfG
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7NLk8BaEh
"No," she replies.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhR1MiDvxm
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0myec2zZU
"Evetta, I don't need anyone to take care of me; please go to work." I can't have her miss work to take care of me.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAgXkg6yhH
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYxYgo2isG
"I'd rather not."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcfwRcyURz
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrjGTQ8sL9
I sigh in frustration.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVZghh4OjC
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2vWbyjWVr
Of course, as per usual, I internalise that frustration. I'm supposed to take care of her, yet here I am, helpless as ever. Again.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5D7X1erZh
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHwDEa2QbE
"Stop." 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5wWMioJPS
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRSAhEU5K8
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwtdqIrcag
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppJLoCd3V8
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Joh6rIOw
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyDMYoWVie
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5O8jiHU3w
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlPnpYQyPI
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunyZ2JvVHo
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W973CeDPR
I pretend that I didn't hear her.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tJYsdfn0l
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ltB0U7jN2
"I want to hear you play the violin."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju0Yl5JmXa
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAXtrzE19q
She looks at me surprised.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpruoTFcdJD
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Itamn5Ze
"I haven't played in a while—"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVntK8OYwyc
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WkuNu04Hy
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTwQmPF2mm
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEkIa4tu54
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjcjd2Pv3y
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2knWem66kq
She smiles at me.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBnqU3G28R
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrrQYlWwdr
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzgneqXHTH
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuwhKrHCTR
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLJZTJhSII
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QnSJaLKRd
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1hfnQkZ0Z
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIkxbcRnlk
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0rat496bQ
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TTqFvouml
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XMzKSDLyo
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiw4KavEPO
She takes the rosin out of the bag and removes it from its casing; as she applies it, I can't deny that she has a certain elegance about her. When she looks up and catches me staring at her, she raises an eyebrow, and I raise mine back.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaZqkFFJDR
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuzxAK9Y06
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK0CsOEf7l
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsTwJJTW8u
Then, she begins.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDsMKVACPb
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjuxsCTGrj
To be honest, she's kind of a show off. She uses chords, somehow manages to run a scale through it after playing the note for 'sky', and when she's done, she simply puts everything away, as if the past two minutes never just happened.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj7mWEUwWv
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz3fU6RWT0
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3JSWgAJVE
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqj22pyf3X
"It's time to take your temperature again."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28RrR2iqEQ

727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoSGWC0h1T
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXbWk1tqmf
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK1IYDqHfB
It's midday, and she has not left the house. She has not even bathed, but for some reason, she smells like baking soda, and beeswax, and... coconut oil?727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uGeZfSpcp
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobaePFVIvW
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkm9ZQksS6
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzB0FjcNh4
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0gK408YYr
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXeMuJN0EI
What the fuck? That's so strange.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppEtqtlRBx
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSouvN1TGUv
"Why?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbnF9fn5AD
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABBh5sh9jA
"Because my armpits naturally smell like a gorilla's ass crack, and I didn't think you'd appreciate that smell. I'm making pumpkin soup. And before you ask me how I know where everything is, I know this house inside out. I used to stay here with you all the time, and after the accident, I never stopped coming here; I would keep your mother's company." With that, she leaves the room.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2CJVD8iAY
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Vvt6zw5s
Wow. She always knows what's going to fly out of my mouth; but why would she want to stay around my mother? It's not as if they have anything in common. My mother is humourless, timid, and very introverted. I just can't see my mother being close enough friends with Evetta that it would allow her to come over regularly.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zAlGOnCNI
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnrcPpDT5k
And that speech about her armpits. A gorilla's ass crack. That sounds awful. What does that even mean? I try to imagine the smell, create it in my mind, and it isn't pleasant.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqTZs1KXBM
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaMtovifXM
"Here," I hear her say from the doorway. Yet again, I failed to take notice of the passage of time, and I can hardly smell anything, but as she brings the steaming bowl to me, my stomach growls in anticipation, as if calling the food.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3tsAxQN1i
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFk4miaI6R
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4gq1iq3bf
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BMH654Pep
"Try not to eat the bowl."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEY8oHcKzS
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRK21dwPgq
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCDVqW8NNM
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDCx43caX1
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW2EbHshj6
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Q3Aa4vFt
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbS2ZSYXVf
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAk1GuKTV9
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovSXww44QX
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiooY5XDG4
A memory.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuuGfYE6mW
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71a1KDvxNn
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWRaQmjVOS
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcsN4A5qTV
The my reaction.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27BHdvJiBv
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEIL3swMsB
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHLxp4MNJn

"You really think so?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5oRBywh7N
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv5Zn6voQj
"Yes, of course, darling." 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJIxQEXHSs
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMpoe2zX1b
After which, we kissed.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuAJVXLQgX
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ70IOkjfov
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYADGt8KJvc
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hxoPQl3gH
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4upC6XnUp0
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LmkQeJL21
"I had a memory of you, and you're fucking hot," I say struggling to keep my eyes on her face after eye-fucking her body for about two seconds.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBEW0wU9xf
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtmbiOe6Z0
"You what? What did you remember?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaelrJvJvk
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXicjql6XB
"The first time you made me soup," I say. It may not seem like a major memory to an outsider, but for me, it's a big deal; it's the first step.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2g6nQs6Dn
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAXC7uOIv8
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCo7dm8qnj
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluOjugoKJT
"You're wet?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6jJdEPS53

"Shut up," she says grinning. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbYvm2E1Jr
727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Av0umBbPk
"Don't worry, you'll say that for me soon enough," I say exiting the bathroom, and even though I'm fucked up, happier than I've been in a long time, because a) I got back my first memory of Evetta, 2) she knows that, and I know that it makes her happy, and 3) I didn't miss the way that her thighs came together when I spoke of making her wet, so I figure that I already have.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsInYdpl2DR
