It was stupid to say I missed his voice, but I did. I didn't even realize it until I heard it again.

I felt my lips tip up. "I thought we talked about how 'woman' isn't a sentence."

"You talked," he agreed, lips twitching.

"And you apparently didn't listen. Woman what?"

"Worst fucking eggs ever," he chuckled again, shaking his head.

I should have been insulted, but, well, they looked like rubber and they kinda smelled awful too. Still, I had to say something. "I think you're supposed to say 'thank you for uncuffing me and cleaning me up and making me food when I was all Hulked out'." If I hadn't been watching him so closely and if he wasn't always so silent and often spoke in tiny nuances of expressions, I would have missed it. As it was, I saw it. Guilt. "Wolf, it's fine. I really didn't min..." But then the guilt got mixed with something else, something a little boyish, a little wicked. "You bastard!" I said, half-angry and half-amused. "When did you clue back in?"

"When you stepped in."

When I stepped in... to the shower. Oh, that shit! There I was worrying about him and his seemingly unbalanced mental and emotional state and the fucker was in his right mind again. While I was in the shower with him. When he was naked and hard! "I soaped you up!"

"Yeah you did," he said, his face losing all of the guilt and looking almost devilish.

"That was so juvenile," I lowered my eyes at him, crossing my hands over my chest.

"Yep," he agreed, pushing his plate almost completely across the table toward me like he didn't even want it anywhere near him. He took my coffee cup from my hands and took a sip himself.

I wanted to be annoyed at him. I really did. He crossed a line. It wasn't a particularly bad line to cross, but it wasn't cool and I wanted him to know that. But that being said, I was happy he was himself again. I was too relieved to hold onto my indignation.

"Are you alright?" I asked when the silence stretched on.

"Yeah."

Augh. I needed more than that.

"You sure? Because you were pretty, ah, shaken up not that long ago."

"Over it."

Over it? Over it?

Alright so my hands weren't exactly clean. I've had blood on them before. I'd done some things and I had gotten over them. Some things needed to be done. But still, he went full on rage monster to the point where there wasn't an inch of him that hadn't been covered in blood. Hell his hand looked like it had reached into someone's chest cavity and pulled out their heart. That was how much blood he had staining his skin and shoved under his fingernails. He couldn't just be... over that.

"Wolf..."

"Tired," he said, getting up so fast the chair scratched across the floor then tipped over. He walked toward the bed without picking it back up.

I took a deep breath, steeling myself for beating my head up against a brick wall.
