So tell me the name of an idiot who decides to go out in the freezing cold of January London without even a Jacket?678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVmqSB2gPk
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9tPsjfwWw
Caleb Fucking Winters, that's who.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORPrTUnuyq
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMbYs8A9Ii
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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtWwaKE7rL
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqKOKF739F
"104.5. That's still high," she sighs. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBhugfC1W7
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xm9Y97led
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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t0qDzSmzv
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHyviOJiwR
Then, something occurs to me. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2QD2HS56u
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXubBrYKtoB
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8p5ovoiv7
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CS66PXQBm
She looks at me as if I'm retarded.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjminOUEcX
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cwvrNPhkv
"You're sick."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfopxXXkyiv
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd4i1P26Fk
"You have a job."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLmmImiBnj

"I also have a boyfriend who can't even breathe through his nose."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgLiFtzNfQ
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN55du85i34
"I can take care of myself," I insist, feeling like so many different kinds of shit. "Go to work," I order her. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD0MRWjZTe
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTwF5NiSPb
"No," she replies.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi9rgJrbFF
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRxbbIayk9
"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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4jCxtzhEe
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU2ojp2nMz
"I'd rather not."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ189zvqpyYr
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzM2zwFNuP
I sigh in frustration.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj2tDz9rvE
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7qAG8eFq9
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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXSIB3jft1
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx6JpFs4QT
"Stop." 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iyVrFPyQ0
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQjCSXBD4D
"Huh?" I say, at a complete loss as to what she is talking about.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7PdIQGk3s
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz591D9WUI
"Stop blaming yourself. I don't mind missing work to take care of you; I really don't. Please stop being so dramatic."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS08oQIOQDI
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmiwDLL79L
I nod at her, saying nothing. She sighs.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK5Rc6gRrm
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJu7NNZx2V
"Go to sleep, Caleb. You look tired."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp0nsEKPHS
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EdtBmh6RO
I pretend that I didn't hear her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXyLoRx90t
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1ToaNCmfB
"I want to hear you play the violin."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3C0vdoReQ
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE10UTlg4C
She looks at me surprised.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7rzLs3hkk
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxhJlOZVYv
"I haven't played in a while—"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcVrkBNqfT
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES8xA8A50h
"Then make something up," I say teasingly. She shoots me a glare and I backtrack.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjKdHZkWUq
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnhUVtpSN8
"Okay," I say, chuckling. "What about 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'"? 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjUullxl2L
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBQJ4zShXJ
She smiles at me.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJor6xUrSl
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YvEv0yA34
"I would, but I don't have any rosin."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rwinFYYae
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG1HL6ESWz
"Yes, you do. Look in the bottom of the bag."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LU1jiphIU
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk2D3fvC62
She raises her eyebrow. "Did you plan to have me play for you?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetXVtkjdYZ
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5OaxTd60E
"Babe, I just wanted to give you the full package," I reply, pun unapologetically intended.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIZLsV7uBI
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9JN0JqBQa
Her smile broadens. "Glad to know."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCpngxKhic
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HGZFpKiVr
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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCMlnlMIir
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6MvBsIM1f
"Okay. So, 'Twinkle Twinkle', right?" she asks, and I nod my head enthusiastically.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZbXWsB5zQ
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDqLGd3sfQ
Then, she begins.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JTeTiFF4u
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGuFd8OMvO
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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5t7VgXLzk
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlRICeBwsc
When she turns back to me, she ignores my awed expression, and simply says:678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftANGYv82W
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa91bhQrMb9
"It's time to take your temperature again."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5kjk9hru0

***678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lpqfkq1mm
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwC0ZnmaDB
"100.1. Better, but still a fever," Evetta says exasperated, sitting on the bed beside me.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Enally3Fl
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NEqQli2bg
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?678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSKt8vp7Vz
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKFBa6jAWj
I sniff a little more, trying to figure it out. Apparently I'm not as inconspicuous as I thought, because she notices.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWofX6O8ALa
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndpoYqTz9R
"It's my deodorant. It's natural deodorant, and I wiped my armpits with wet wipes and I put it on this morning."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO5P0tCeYi
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkxcfn5hVM
What the fuck? That's so strange.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoFeC4OPPa
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yezBorg7F
"Why?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbxfxP1XaZ
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV28wuUIEb
"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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEvAKxmazq
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8oMID6JuG
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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp45Uc1zhb
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc9dgfdwgV
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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2njEvuVNVS
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXheDGRn0mL
"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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYRfTtfNQl
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPKsBuFZQg
She laughs; it's that warm, bubbly sound again.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ1skaoUni
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXCxlOglQX
"Try not to eat the bowl."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJMe9vsYtR
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpKiV3PUEm
She sets the trey down on the bed in front of me and goes into the bathroom to bathe.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkvkMQFyAb
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhGTGiRlyP
I look down at the thick, orange liquid, and raise a spoonful to my lips and blow on it before drinking it.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubJfSkGTXc
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSJWlPJtoH
The taste is amazing; it's as if heaven has been brought down in the form of soup and presented to me.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dOzoYfeJK
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXxxFwR1eo
However, as I am pulling the spoon out of my mouth, something hits me; something big.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDHRDsgCAI
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHEXjUogBR
A memory.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6SoU9UddO
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzLofnPYTC
A memory of Evetta feeding me this same dish, literally feeding me with the spoon, a flirtatious smile on her face.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3zG5lteLu
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALXPCsjISz
The my reaction.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5XT9uxDAT
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTcTY7bpX4
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLHj6DOsVl

"Yes, of course, darling." 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pNSwpp6Ux
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4IWiknGHF
After which, we kissed.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLNCQY2A7Q
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIIoR6lGLP
Before I know what I'm doing, I walk straight into the bathroom.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkw5skE7MQ
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv6R8ZcCQB
"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, completely naked, under the shower.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtZXe6DDAB
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RLAbTeeaQ
"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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYoK1QGH58
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr0arLAK0y
"You what? What did you remember?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF6S75Ywnr
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnmc86VlD3
"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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDPGGtkeeO
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUKoe31Z55
"That's amazing, Caleb, I'm so happy! I'd hug you, but I'm wet, and you're sick."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn1uUVSNxL

"Shut up," she says grinning. 678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlhmtoE8Ht
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ooVibkVnq
"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.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaodrGJSIO4
