2020-01-20 - Look After You

And that fact made Jonathan stop the car every now and then to check that she was only asleep, and not anything worse. But in time, they're back in Gray Harbor, and Jonathan smiles as he parks. "Home, sweet home," he offers, loud enough that it should wake her if she's still asleep.

Katy stirs and moans quietly as Jonathan speaks. "Wow...how long was I out for?" she mumbles as she shifts to release herself from her seatbelt.

"I don't know, more or less the whole time? I stopped a few times to check that you were asleep and not something else," Jonathan replies, quietly as he release his own seatbelt. "But we made it back safely, which is the important thing."

For the most part, as Katy gets on her feet, she is stable, recovered from the initial wave of exhaustion from her experience. Still lethargic, but at least she's not so prone to falling over. She heads towards their apartment, essentially on autopilot.

Getting their bags, Jonathan hurries to catch up with Katy, walking behind her to make sure she doesn't fall or anything. He looks like he's ready to drop the bags and rush over if needed. "Feeling any better?" he asks, after a few moments of pause.

"I think so." Katy replies as they cross the lobby towards the elevator. She seems quiet and retreated into herself, which Jonathan knows is unusual.

Jonathan nods a bit as he follows her. "Good." There is still a bit of worry in his expression as he watches her, nodding a bit to himself as they reach the elevator. "Want anything special for dinner tonight?"

"Nothing really. It's up to you to decide." Katy for the most part stands quietly in the elevator once it comes, resting her head on Jonathan's shoulder the whole ride up.

Jonathan frowns momentarily as he hears that. "But I want to make what you want," he points out, a bit quietly. He leans his own head a little towards the shoulder with her head on it as they stand in the elevator, keeping quiet for now.

The first thing Katy does when they finally get to the apartment, is sit on the couch with the laptop she has on the coffee table and begin to check in, as much as she can in her current state. Again, autopilot kicking in, although she is not able to be entirely too productive once she starts.

Moving to drop their bags off at the bedroom, Jonathan pauses as he enters the living room again, watching her as she checks the laptop. He remains there for a little while, simply watching her in quiet for now.

Looking over her shoulder after loading up her email, Katy asks, "What? Is everything okay?" She doesn't even attempt to read anything.

"I don't know," Jonathan replies. "Do you remember anything more of what happened?" He moves over to seat himself next to her.

Katy puts her computer back on the coffee table as Jonathan comes to sit next to her. "I remember a fight...but not much else. You know, details are fuzzy." She reaches out to put a hand on his cheek as a comforting gesture. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you. I don't know why happened or how..."

Nodding a little as he hears that, Jonathan smiles a little. "I know how that feels," he offers to her. One hand going to her hand on his cheek, simply holding it there for a few moments. "And you don't have to apologize for worrying me. I'd be more scared if I wasn't worried." There's another smile offered as he adds, "Think we should just relax for the rest of today?"

"I really should be trying to get a couple of hours of work in..." Katy lets her voice trail off, still having trouble focusing. "Yeah, relaxing sounds nice. Just...don't go too far."

"Maybe the work will be done with better quality if you take it easy tonight, and get a good night's sleep too?" It's offered a bit quietly, before he smiles, "I promise I won't go far. I think I can make something for dinner with the ingredients we have here, so I won't leave the apartment."

"You've been in charge of groceries so I trust you." There is a bit of a pause before Katy adds, "I'm not even really that hungry..."

Jonathan smiles, nodding a little as he hears that. "That's why I was thinking a light dinner which is just as much an evening meal."

Katy looks to Jonathan with interest, trying to look interested. She knows that he loves to cook and it helps him relax so she focuses on that. "What do you plan on making?" she asks quietly.

Jonathan considers that. "I'm not sure. I'll see if it'll be some kind of pasta, or maybe some goulash kind of thing." He smiles at her. "A rather simple meal, but it should still be good, I think."

"You spoil me when it comes to meals, Jon," Katy says quietly, her head resting on his shoulder again.

"Well, you spoil me when it comes to so many things, Katy. It's only fair that I do something in return, isn't it?" It's offered with a smile as he leans a little towards her, smiling at her.

"You forgave me, that's all that matters." Katy says, letting the statement hang in the air, not looking to Jonathan for his reaction. She sits still for a beat before she says, "I'm thinking I want to sit in the hot tub for a bit."

Pausing for a few seconds at her words, Jonathan smiles. "I will always forgive you." He nods a bit as he hears her words about the hot tub. "That sounds like an excellent idea," he agrees, with a smile.

Katy stands up to head to the bedroom to get ready to use the hot tub.

Jonathan stands up a few moments later, following her.
