Second date
Maeve came out of the ward, after putting Mare to bed. She had slept off after their discussions. She saw him, lost in thought. His head leaning on the wall. What was he thinking about.
“Are you okay? Dixon! Dixon.” She shook him a little and then he blinked and jolted off the thought that he was.
“Hey.”
“What are you thinking about, I’ve never seen you this lost in thought.”
“I was thinking about someone, I shouldn’t waste my thinking about it. How is mom?”
“She’s sleeping.”
“Come, Let’s go.” He took her hands. And they began walking away from the ward.
“Happy? You got to see your mom, do you want to come back tomorrow?”
“I don’t want to.”
“Why? She’s your mother.”
“I don’t wanna see her again.”
“Why do you say that?”
She stopped walking and held his hands, and took them to her chest.
“Just trust me. I’ll let you know when I wanna see her and talk to her. For now. I don’t want to. I just wanna be with you.”
