"Hey Babe, you okay?"

"Nope, most definitely not, not even a little, not a spec of okay left in my body, it's...

"Okay" Leigh laughed as she cupped my face, forcing me to look at her "You are okay" She poked my chest a few times "You"

"That's really comforting Leigh" I nodded, stepping back, moving her hands away from my face "But it's not okay, regardless of how much you try to make me feel better.. I love you for it, i really do, it's just that affection and your gentle love isn't gonna fix this. I have to fix this"

"WE have to fix this" she corrected, stepping forward and taking my hands "Remember we're a thing now, more than friends if ya know what I mean.. Plus we're partners, we gotta do this together man"

"Why call me man?" I laughed at her rare use of the word

"Must be from watching tv last night" She shrugged, letting go of my hands and sitting on the bed

I sat down next to her, our shoulders touching as I looked forward "That was fun, we stayed up to five am just watching tv shows and movies"

"Yes it was fun" Leigh agreed by nodding her head like she wasn't whining or wanting to go to sleep the whole time

"Okay" I took a deep breath because I was about to start up our previous subject again "So per your words, WE have to fix this together, so let's.. As you may have known I was, am on edge and I've been thinking probably way to much, BUT, but it hasn't been all bad, this memory problem has been a pain in my ass for ten years, maybe longer, babe.. Leigh, I don't wanna let it win anymore.. I am saying it out loud not just for me and you, but so it's known to the universe and everyone that can hear, my fate isn't to forget you Leigh, and I'm frankly tired of it, How many times did we have to rewind a movie last night because I forgot midway through?"

"To many" She replied, looking away from me

"To many, exactly, and like I said, I'm tired of letting it win"

"So what are WE gonna do?" She asked, looking back at me with curiosity and worry

"I'm gonna take my ass back to the hospital" I began to laugh "Our whole date night was awesome, actually that whole day was amazing.. We were actually able to live with forgetting our troubles for a day but me, me forgetting you.. my freaking anchor is where I draw the line. I'm not doing anything else until I or someone else rids me of this condition"

"So I'm checking you into the hospital?" Leigh asked, her concern starting to wash away as she smiled at this big step that i'm trying to take

"I'm checking myself into the hospital, you're my plus one. That's if you wanna come, you don't have to" I smiled, reaching over and resting my hand on top of hers

"I promised I wouldn't leave your side didn't I?" She chuckled, putting her other hand on top of mine, interlocking our fingers

"Weird way to propose but okay, I can deal with it"

She reached over quickly punching my shoulder with laughter "Oh shut up"

"I thought you liked when I didn't shut up" I nudged her with a smirk

"I.."

She was absolutely speechless by what I said. It was quite the opposite of what I was expecting, thinking maybe it edged her on but it didn't

"Do you wanna go get dinner somewhere?" I asked since she was speechless for the time being

"Funny that you mention that...

"Why?" I asked

"Jade actually wanted us to come by today. We never go over her house and have dinner, plus it's nearing that time for Valentina to head off to college, she wants to have something at their home at least once before she goes"
