B.I.L.L.: If I had eyes, I would roll them.

Lake Tahoe Cabin, Sunday 10 am

* * *

I could get used to this, feeling adored and protected. Part of me says I should squirm and demand my husband put me down. I am capable of walking. The other part loves the fact that he noticed my feet were hurting and just... took care of it, took care of me. No one takes care of me, not since I was a kid and my mom still put bandages on my skinned knees.

Resting in Rygar’s arms I watch the world go by, amazed at how little distance I managed to cover in my mad dash away from the cabin. When I was running, it felt like a solid mile. Now I wonder if I managed even half that. The sun is shining. The sky is a brilliant blue with a couple of fluffy, white clouds on the horizon. The day isn’t boiling with heat yet, but it will be soon. The ground is covered with dry pine needles and a mixture of green and brown grasses, typical of summer. Everything smells fresh and clean and perfect, like I woke up after a light rain.

The best part? The steady beating of Rygar’s heart under my ear where my cheek rests against his chest. I’m naked, but so is he. If anyone asked me to explain my reaction to him, I couldn’t do it. He just feels right. Safe. Like he’s mine. The calmer I become, the more I sink into where our bodies are connected, the clearer the images in my mind grow. One memory leads to another, then another, until the events of last night are running through my head like a movie highlight reel.

As we approach the cabin, my trepidation grows. Am I truly the one who brought the animals inside, then gave them food and alcohol? Did I put a tutu on a bear? Did I ask my new husband if I could take home a mountain lion? And what about those scary MIBs who were shooting at us! The fact that I’m naked and don’t have a weapon, especially after we were shot at last night, is another concern. Rygar doesn’t have his fancy suit on. What if those MIB guys ambush us? Would they? I don’t know. I don’t know who they were.

The sudden case of amnesia and blank spots in my memory have me in a tailspin. Rygar’s explanation of astral euphoria makes no sense. What is astral euphoria and why do I have it?

How is it that Rygar’s presence causes such a powerful reaction? Soothing is climbing into a hot bath. This is more like melt my bones, heart bursting with joy, everything that is, was, or ever will be is totally okay. It’s not soothing, it’s hypnotic. Mesmerizing. I don’t want to be away from him and it’s kinda freaking me out. Why am I not more weirded out by this situation? By him? I’m not sure.
