She sat in front of a blank screen, fingers poised over the keyboard, and nothing. She couldn't remember anything, she couldn't think.
Vocabulary flew out of memory, or into very deep recesses. She looked around, nothing.
All she could hear were stifled whispers as she roamed the deserted streets of her mind, looking desperately for someone to come help.
She looked into open doorways that looked like they mocked her by the emptiness within. She hopefully peeped under rocks, maybe she'd get someone with little creative hiding options. Anything would do at this point, she really needed to get this work done!
Suddenly, arms came out of nowhere, making her freeze in place. Oh. Damn. This wouldn't help, but Oh, God, how good it was.
She decided that since the search for coherence was futile anyway, why look a gift horse in the mouth? Bliss awaits.
She smiled at the screen and thought back.
He was an amazing person, he knew just what to say and do to make her feel instantly better, but he wasn't perfect, which was brilliant. She'd have been too afraid of his being way out of her league than he already was.
She was rediscovering her die-hard romantic side. And she wasn't minding much.
