Episode Ten: I Shall BelieveBowie’s arms were wrapped around Lila. She was still shivering as she buried her head in his shoulder. He stroked her hair, normally she’d bark at him for that."I’ll do what I can to make this better." Lila glanced up at him, smiling. "I can always count on you, I don’t know why I never see that," and she wiped at the mascara stains on her face. "I’m the most awful person on earth, I mean when he calls me Mama I wince, and god I yell at him so much..." Bowie was speechless. It’s not like that wasn’t the truth and he liked her seeing him as a hero, but man, did he feel guilty, like he was taking advantage. "Hello, I’m Dr. Marques;" A beautiful graying blond in her fifties approached them. "Jesse’s fine, the only bad thing he’s swallowed lately is too much sugar, reminds me of my son at that age." Lila jumped up and down like she had won the lottery. She planted a kiss on Bowie. He had been counting the days since that last happened. "Great news Lila, we should celebrate like it’s a fresh start," he was happy; that sledgehammer hanging over your head kind of happy, he was denying it would drop. "Sounds fun Bo," Lila answered tapping his nose with her finger, he had already lost, and she was gone. "Did you say Marques? Your son’s name wouldn’t be Sebastian by any chance would it?" |
