Travis looked at the scratches on his shoulder and chest in the mirror. It wasn’t as bad as he thought. It still hurt like hell, though. It would take a few days to heal and he was almost positive it would leave a scar.

He looked around the bathroom, rolling his eyes when he didn’t see a change of clothes. He’d been in such a hurry to shower and get back to the kitchen he’d forgotten to grab something to wear. He glanced down, looking at the towel wrapped around his waist and smiled. It would serve her right if he pranced around half naked like she had but he knew he couldn’t. One look at her and she’d know without a doubt what effect she had on his body.

Turning to the door, he pulled it open and looked out. He didn’t see her and assumed she was still in the kitchen. He debated on calling out to her but decided to grab what he needed himself when he heard her in the kitchen.

Making a quick dash to the dresser, he grabbed a pair of sweat pants and was on his way back to the bathroom when Meredith spoke to him.

“We’ll have to bandage that again,” she said, nodding to his shoulder.

He froze; sweat pants clenched in his fist and covering the part of his anatomy that suddenly decided it wake up at the sight of her, just as he predicted. He nodded his head at her. “Okay.”

“Grab the first aid before you come back out. It’s under the bathroom cabinet.”

He saw her gaze sweep over him before she blushed prettily and turned her back to him. He stared at her for a moment and continued to the bathroom, dressing and grabbing the kit.

When he walked back to the kitchen and sat down at the table, Meredith was by the stove, staring down at the soup. She was humming under her breath and moved to grab bowls and silverware. She looked at home. Happy even, judging the tune she was humming. The whole scene looked so damned domestic he could almost imagine it had always been this way. Her, there in his kitchen, cooking. The only thing missing in his happy little fantasy was the sound of children laughing in the background.

Longing for something he never thought to have swept over him suddenly and he realized, no matter how many times he told himself it didn’t bother him, that he wanted this. He wanted someone to spend his life with. Someone he could look forward to seeing every day. To wake up with every morning and hold every night when he went to sleep.

He realized almost immediately that just anyone wasn’t who he wanted. He could see the scene play out in his mind but it was her he saw there. It was Meredith’s smiling face looking up at him from the kitchen. Her face the last one he saw before closing his eyes at night and the first one he saw every morning.
