L is for Luck:

"Please be careful, Maxine!"

Max carefully glanced down at her girlfriend, a smirk painted on her face. She loved it when Kate was worried about her. Currently, Max was attempting to climb a tree to snap a shot of blue jays in their nest. Kate had tried to negotiate with Max about taking the picture from the ground but ax insisted that this was a better way.

"I'll be fine, Katie." Max plants her foot on a sturdy branch to pull herself to the level of the bird's nest. Kate sighed, brushing a few strands of blonde hair away from her face. "You're just so clumsy all the time and it worries me, sweetie."

Max blushed when Kate looked back into her eyes. She looks back up at the bird nest and moves her foot in the direction of the next branch, pulling herself upwards. "I'm not THAT clumsy…" she mumbles as she climbs another inch.

Kate giggled. "You kind of are, Max." Max looked down and saw the gleam in the blonde's chocolate brown eyes. 'God, those eyes…'

Max smiled goofily and kept her eyes glued to Kate, planting her foot on a random branch below her.

Max yelps as she suddenly falls forward towards the ground. She came crashing down with a loud THUD, face first. Kate comes rushing over, rolling Max onto her back and pushing her into a sitting position against the tree.

"Oh no, Max! Are you alright?" Max slowly opened her eyes to see the blurry, worried face of her girlfriend. Kate ran her thumb underneath Max's nose, her finger quickly being smeared with blood.

Max winced when Kate's index finger brushed against her Nasal Bone. Kate frowned as she saw her girlfriend's wince. "Oh Max, I think your nose is broken," she mumbled and she ran her finger across Max's cheek.

Max blinked rapidly and saw her girlfriend's face in full detail. She smiled and wiped away the blood with the sleeve of her hoodie. "I'm fine, Kate. It was just a fall."

Kate shook her head, pulling Max to her feet and setting the brunette's arm around her neck. She began to work, keeping Max upright as she did so. "I don't care if it was just a fall. I'm taking you to the hospital to get you checked."

Max let a small smile creep onto her face. "You're adorable when you're worried." Kate blushed, shaking her head as she sighed once again.

"How are you this clumsy? It's like the Lord took all the luck out of you." Max smiles, kissing her girlfriend's cheek gently.

"I think it's because I lucked out when I met you."
