So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY9KAe0ps0
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7BQzMZOFO
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYaGIxaAyj
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXFO9Tx7Tq
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLefwKLZvSa
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PHKXvYRNS
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1yx8cFDwo
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0HB4Ql3Ra
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sTvtAUWp6

Then, something occurs to me. 689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSioLTmAzED
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXKLewtIBP
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS3wo9mvXt
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffBCdvNjBe
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtyJFaTw65

"You're sick."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBngnHE5mRe

689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gmqwLikls
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLGjGjdaux
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOur6QwSsPl
"No," she replies.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU1A86hGEh
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ2RlfJjnZ
"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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB7N7qSS3k
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCcUOfBT32
"I'd rather not."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU5nuNKJUO
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoyeDz6siS
I sigh in frustration.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzusAh1Bxat
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF1AzWT6iG
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIaHL6uT2O
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡithYSGPiSU
"Stop." 689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqkte5J20U
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrxT3HT2dC
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvhk0YYl3f
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3gNNSrYfO
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9xEKLC74c
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOGfIaEjpI
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC4oSUPbnd
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2CpQNW2PV
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTguRvkN0U
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3clhDpDtV
I pretend that I didn't hear her.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjswxzdtCv
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp37zvAPuy
"I want to hear you play the violin."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jaQT5IbJq
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2WtjmXXgf
She looks at me surprised.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1A4lYrLy0
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvJ0ron5Ig
"I haven't played in a while—"689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9kSmCbhwm
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1F1s5VyVk
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjBeQIsZB8
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdA8njC71Z
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYqJoiMH9l
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAbAp7U8MD
She smiles at me.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUMXRQltdn
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJRn57NsHl
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4b4WPDSkb
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDslIC5PIxS
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWaoubRK7A
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJO51XkP6S
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCFOMEThPh
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0W7D9Zs79
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3mrzC7cwn
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07DLucXN8H
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQBdKkD7QT
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXPICAm8n2
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhghRhVZ1gS
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuRVZe80YR
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiaLTm46cW
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0mMw0dScd
Then, she begins.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zG35O1caw
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7BEfqYb4h
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybRNUpkZAg
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hvzrkdNqW
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCS9iO1CB4
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ctjc4FAgE
"It's time to take your temperature again."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4rGrZPyC4

689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ozJCWVyCS
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiipBTqcl6
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5zuDtSqGm
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?689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSze71geDgA
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mNZrn4O1s
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7DkQfkVq8
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtJqrROIwY
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQTKrerBBs
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JrTxADZv8
What the fuck? That's so strange.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV6fAbKpYl
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWQ0hRpEwv
"Why?"689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lLH76Uyfy
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSJGJn8dNf
"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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl09Usk5AV1
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNlssn1RHF
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4EOeKxoWH
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFPUOz93rT
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXYddHSG2a
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv6icoPjkh
"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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3VtQrWBcR
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrERDKvCN8
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrAmOtmmfW
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ee1ItYfQ
"Try not to eat the bowl."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC03MqoWTwv
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJAjxIQhTl
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT3Fu2vpJy
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51rjr95tE9
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDPRol2XDz
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ozx0IJ2mB
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIJPPK4RWj
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y8ok5pQFc
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROLsQmQ9Si
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuPBNYuvNf
A memory.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaQTy8l7X0
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRzyJ9TphD
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU96xcflpB
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxxlgFwaW5
The my reaction.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnf366gp2n

"Yes, of course, darling." 689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8aPvrPMZ7
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRR32PBOPp
After which, we kissed.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWLF4oX8AH
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvSfLjVMhT
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U3xUFD4z3
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPq6pHAFDE
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWNVFAbBLQ
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIvx7hI1Wu
"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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu124qAIXDV
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKlE6q2FVs
"You what? What did you remember?"689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4N8lN05AT
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsM3tNmsfy
"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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX2C5IaUgq
689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ZYvjG3dx
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXT6ajPcVT

689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTKzHsJwin
"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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgkttfl926
