Misha, it's Henry. How's this messed up day treating you?

She sighs but it's more melodrama than anything else. She is secretly pleased to hear his voice.

Henry, sweetie... Oh, you know. I've got one heck of an alimony settlement going on right now but I'll live. It could be worse. How about you?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

He paused at that.

..Alimony?

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

Mmhm. I suddenly can do all the stupid little tricks my ex can do. Or could do. I think your grandmother is screwing around with us again, handsome. Are you okay?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Well..apparently I can walk.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

Oh. Oh, wow. Now that I can approve of.

He can hear the smile in her voice.

No cane then?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

It's so weird, but..no..no cane.

He's more than a little giddy himself.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

So what are you planning to do with your newfound mobility, Dr Phillips?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

I was planning to walk wherever the hell I need to go. Just enjoy it while I can.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

That sounds like a very good plan to me.

She pauses for a moment, then almost giggles as a combination one-two of clairvoyance and her own excellent reading-of-men skills hit. She already knows the answer to her next question.

Would you want some company?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

I would like that a great deal. You wouldn't mind?

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

Never in a million years. But you have to pick where we go.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

I..I don't even know where to start! Do you have anything you'd like to do?

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

Hm. Care to take a girl dancing?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

I..I don't know how to dance.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

I don't mind teaching you. A low purr enters her voice. I already know you have fantastic rhythm.

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Well..okay. You're on.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

I'm in Philly now. Would you want me to come out to you or you to me?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

If you could come to me that would be great. I..I just want to relish this.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

I'll be there as soon as I can, handsome. See you in a couple of hours, okay?

[fires-smith.insanejournal.com]

Sounds great. Think I'll take a walk around the block in the meantime.
