She looked back at him " yeah?''
”Can I have my wedding ring and dog tags back?” he smiled softly.
" oh um well I don't know " she said looking down at her hands
”What do you mean?” he asked gently, raising a brow slightly.
" Are you sure you want them?" She asked
”Of course, I’m sure, my angel.” he nodded. ”Why wouldn't I?”
She shrugged and walked over to the dresser
He smiled softly as he watched her, stretching his arms over his head.
She opened an old jewelry box and brought over his dog tag and his wedding ring
He smiled lovingly at her and slid the ring back on, putting on the tags next.
She smiled softly
He got out of bed and gently hugged her. ”I love you.”
" be careful " she said
He raised a brow slightly and looked at her. ”Why do you say that, love?”
She ran her hands up his stomach and chest where newly fresh scars and bruises had formed
Lysander smiled gently at his wife and held her hands. ”I’m fine, my angel. I'm almost fully healed.” he assured her, though he still had a small limp for now.
The bruises had mostly healed and were a soft yellow that was only a little tender. While the scars were in no danger of reopening.
She sighed " i know i just feel like this is my fault
He softly cupped the side of her face. ”It’s not. You did nothing wrong, my love.” he whispered, kissing her forehead.
" i should've just pretended i liked her" she said
”She insulted you and Tyler as soon as she saw you.” he pointed out. ”I was angry with her. You were under no obligation to like her.”
" still" she said
”No. You did nothing wrong.” he shook his head. ”She started the fight all because she was jealous of what we have. I never thought of her as more than a friend and now I will never think of her as even that because of her actions. If anyone is to blame, it's her. Not you.”
She nodded but still didn't believe him
He smiled softly at her and hugged her close.
" i need to shower" she said
He chuckled a little but nodded as he slowly let her go, giving her one more kiss on her forehead. “I’ll make some coffee.” he offered.
" i don't think you should move and are you putting on that cream Tyler told you to put on your shoulders back chest and stomach?"
He sighed a little. ”I am. Daily.” he nodded. ”But I need to stretch my leg a little or this limp is going to take longer to go away. I’ll use my crutch.”
" I'll be gone soon be quiet Evans asleep " she
”Ok. I’ll meet you in the kitchen.” he smiled a little, grabbing a loose comfy t-shirt and carefully heading towards the door.
