She seems to be doing better. Not through much of my doing, but she does seem to be doing better.

I had a hell of a time keeping her in bed all day the last couple days, and she insisted on getting up to cook a time or two, but after four days of bed rest, I figured it was okay for her to be up and about. Not that she had anything to worry about doing. No way was I going to let her go back to working at Lorne's right away, and Lorne agreed, giving her a couple weeks off. Paid, even. Guess the green guy really likes her. And with money coming in, that seemed to convince her that it would be alright to indulge me and let me keep her in bed.

In my bed. Didn't move her back to the one she had across the hall.

Kept the temptation right there in my bed. And let me just say, she was definitely tempting. Yeah, even now, vulnerable gets me every time. But I was a good boy. For her healing body's sake.

I brought tea a lot, and she even convinced me to get a membership at the video store down the street. Said she might want to broaden my taste in movies. Aside from the tea, I got her to eat a little here and there. Until she couldn't take it anymore and hobbled out of bed with the excuse that I couldn't keep making her things. I think she just wanted to not feel like a nuisance for a second. Of course she made enough for me too. Right before I carried her back to bed and then brought trays up for the both of us.

Didn't tell her that I brought her things over from her apartment. I didn't want her to think about that at all. I'm guessing she figured it out when I had new clothes for her to change into, but I didn't bring it up. If she wants to move back into her apartment, she can, but for now, I want people to think she's gone, disappeared.

And I want her to have her own space here. With her things so she can claim it as hers.

Hopefully, I can convince her to start some training soon. We'll start slow, help her muscles stretch back out and get loose again. I want her to feel safe. Here or wherever she decides to be.
