Legs draped over his shoulders he continues to hold me while I recover and open my eyes, sated and melting I allow myself to fully relax and look at this man that clearly adores me. His trademark subtle smirk tugs at one corner of his mouth and I know he’s ok…for now anyway…we’re both ok.

“Crash Into Me”
Dave Matthews Band

No words are spoken, although I couldn’t speak if I wanted to. Evan silently and gently, dresses me. He stops after he has my jeans buttoned to search my eyes for something, forgiveness maybe, devotion, love? I gaze back trying like hell to give him what he wants, I do love him, I’m wholeheartedly devoted and forgiveness isn’t necessary, my Evan hasn’t done anything wrong.
    Finally when he slides the clunky boots on my feet making a disgusted face I smile at him, he’s hating these rubber polka dot boots, he’s my sexy shoe man.  “These are hideous you know?” he says while crouching between my legs. Sitting on the edge of the bed hands on my knees, I’m ready to go but first I point to the pad of paper on the night table so I can respond to him and he reaches for it, scanning my message from earlier that he ignored.
    “Mia…I’ll go with you if that’s what it takes for you to be examined, but there is no sense in me speaking to anyone about my condition, the tumor is inoperable. You know it is.” Grabbing the notepad and pencil I write. So you’re giving up? You won’t fight for your life? For me? I shove it into his chest.  He reads it and runs his fingers through his dark hair with frustration. “I’m not giving up Mia, go with me and I’ll prove it to you. I promise. I’ve never lied to you have I?”
    Well, no, not that I know of anyway. How is he going to prove it to me? Damn he knows I have an incurable curious streak. I nod yes and he repeats the gesture while taking my hand to help me to my feet but I’m not on them for long.  He sweeps me behind the knees and cradles me heading for the door. I’d tell him it wasn’t necessary to carry me if I could but the note pad is conveniently in his pocket now. His way of controlling the conversation, yep that’s my man, possessive, controlling and stubborn. But I love him, every insane, irritating, frustrating trait balances out perfectly with the way he cares for me, his never-ending generosity and yea he’s pretty easy on the eyes.
    I make an effort to humft but no sound comes out just the puff of air from my nose and he looks down at me.”  What? Something funny?” I roll my eyes, I can’t answer him but yea he’s funny all right, but not “Haha.” funny, more like “Wow I can’t believe this guy funny.” “Hmmm.” he squints his eyes looking more intensely at me. “This no talking thing is going to be challenging.” He says and I roll my eyes again but harder this time and he chuckles as we enter the living room where Gabriella and Dr. Amato are lounging by the fireplace drinking wine together on the couch.
    Yea these two are an item, the chemistry between them is obvious now that I’m not so focused on my problems. Gabriella looks incredibly relieved when she catches sight of us. “Oh thank God, I thought you two would never come out of there.” she says with mock irritation, she’s happy her brother is out of that room full of bad history and I know it. “We need to go.” Right to the point, not much for small talk, no wonder he doesn’t have any friends. “Oh, ok so to the hospital?” She asks and scrambles to her feet with Dr. Amato close behind.
    No answer from Evan he’s a man of few words today but he is heard loud and clear just the same. His actions say it all. Standing me up for a moment he gathers our coats from the closet and helps me on with mine and scoops me back up heading out the front door with his sister and the good doctor scurrying to keep up. Evan’s on a mission and nothing’s stopping him now.
    I feel like a child the way he tends to me,
