Fever Dream

a fever dream I wish would never end. /0\ A breeze slices through the office with chaotic efficiency, cutting off Matilda’s twelve point rant about the quality of the lead story we’d been assigned to. Someone didn’t shut the windows. Papers fly everywhere. Matilda screeches out a shrill curse, berating a cute little intern with a nice butt. He looks at us and flushes red. Lance, the international editor, drops a large mug of coffee that washes over the conference table like a tidal wave. All hell breaks lose as reporters, editors, and interns all scream bloody murder as they dive for expensive computer and camera equipment. All that happens in a separate world. I look at my watch. It’s been a five days, twenty-three hours, forty-two minutes, and exactly twelve seconds since that night in the cabin. We haven’t talked about it since. Ignored each other in fact. Rules mean something after all and the consequences can be tricky little bastards when you break them. But… her eyes right now, despite all the chaos, are locked on mine and mine on hers. Her cherry red smile is wide, a perfect black eyebrow rising inquisitively. And I start to wonder.
