So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxIAFlNmH5
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7bkCW7ca1
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC3n8Q2dHw
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAZecHfKnE
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHZVGsr8pg
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzW4len6U8
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3VcE10427
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hxa4BR3wI
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNJCUY6qT8
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iKqFgcvMS
Then, something occurs to me. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iFZOBgAGl
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AwLdiYnut
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwqEKY0lzI
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn9bLZporP
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjph4k23kA
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmerNbbGYw
"You're sick."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdxWRxw7ob

"You have a job."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmluPeSzzHP

726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhef2U4nCIw
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyHxEKtecW
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCBylOJNNV
"No," she replies.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE87uUQ4Zbx
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9fSxPuduM
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs8qZQjbZA
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbpI12EkWZ
"I'd rather not."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI4kGw1Gx1
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtoMcbHXxJ
I sigh in frustration.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sRbVQTGOZ
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx1acDuhmD
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaKygAkQLA
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfELppTZRfE
"Stop." 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡituZwhmlBK
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mW03N0ser
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGrawmdd4k
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCZibRav8e
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu3FE79S4Q
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1GxxELBjh
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwSLJRuJVL
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7SXZnKRJt
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TgTgyVmvl
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwpVPPr8Vd
I pretend that I didn't hear her.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecHcbv1b8z
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP85pGcdqU
"I want to hear you play the violin."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2EMkAYrhZ
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoLGnuXFwQ
She looks at me surprised.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSa1QwOMy3
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHN8rPooXB
"I haven't played in a while—"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDByx4zqj3h
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1AUiOwViY
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswSCqqJXVc
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa573G3Lsd
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrVHCL4mu3
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFXf7s2n9Z
She smiles at me.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SHZ8GxpJU
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx4OqLoiUh
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ2MvqPcB2
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTsEBt0dD1
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7b6itMI8N
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvzZfeDmKm
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRliCIcgOf1
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX4FRITdit
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bk2N9xCpu
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLApCjlas0
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ewakBuVQ
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudLVoJKgNK
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVMhNxqXYo
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjm8t1iZO0
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEDZUvl5Un
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWn4IRRSHm
Then, she begins.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3EDyv8Wil
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dm0jQLCQB
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1dmSl5GUv
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtRVTXCjMx
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p9woF06Q6
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJflDTYh0m8
"It's time to take your temperature again."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIRqwOZtxY

726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIcUgrd45I
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb5kNt7YmM
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XsYtbjE4T
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?726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNQtwSgo6y
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMchLYBewG
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPKiVv4lfJ
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddGXjIxKEN
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO45Nf46L7
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGJR0Gtw1A
What the fuck? That's so strange.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rfjhHQ8d6
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujyJTgl4b6
"Why?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO9BwF2yfP
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lsGPOI8Ln
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfHCHoz7nQ
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDBJqs5CRI
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaJGuXXJ7V
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT78GYiVYfq
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u0KYqG64x
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL0iCwhsHj
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd3lnK1Vth
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptiS6to5pf
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpLtnc6QFG
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkm9ut8Gs2
"Try not to eat the bowl."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1hfjJcGVk
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVqQXCW92W
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmNTCkGE3K
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYqmC2OO0G
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiOqDsm2Rm
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyK1Y01KS1
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnTpayfGaw
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogVnVPPAnj
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLlSWSY9WN
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMMeWk6sX9
A memory.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKXDC9Xbjt
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFuMcVvEcv
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp60H9Iy7th
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCce0yyUJp
The my reaction.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1OBKH4qS1
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpsA8w0lEh
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJqo1fjyUK

"You really think so?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ77Ay57VT
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlyxIR0fTY
"Yes, of course, darling." 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Fy8pB8CC
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNl3KzZRNL
After which, we kissed.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2izLq5EG5Q
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPLlfyAXES
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlyw6vkpP1
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yAashYzNH
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s5S14Ik9j
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuP25KKdSK
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj1WaLjEuZ
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGXVfk0j5T
"You what? What did you remember?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJAvBLJCJE
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgrgjAPY8A
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrvOjN1HOn
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxejrrICz17
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMRt26eCQf
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygZkAxn9hB
"You're wet?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkeBk3BlBk

"Shut up," she says grinning. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnubf4uB0x
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7xl5C1I6W
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kOPvA7E65
