Georgia leans her head against the door, listening to Max's heels hit the windshield as he swings his legs back and forth. She's just getting used to sleeping at night again, after switching to first shift at work. She can never stay asleep for more than two hours at a time, and even that is hard if Max starts having a nightmare. They aren't as common as everyone thought they would be, but the worst result of his injuries are the headaches. They last anywhere from 10 minutes to all day, and at their worst they diminish the sight in both of Max's eyes and leave him barely functional. Today was a good day for him, with no signs of pain and an almost peaceful night before.
Georgia hadn't been as lucky, and was trying desperately to catch on some sleep before - "Jude!" She hears Max shout from outside. The roof groans as Max jumps off the car to run to his best friend. Georgia yawns as she gets out to greet Jude.
"There she is, the nurse! How are you?" Jude asks, throwing his arms around Georgia and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm glad you're back." Max and Jude talk and laugh almost the whole way to the Strawberry Jams building, mostly about Lucy. Georgia keeps her eyes shut the whole time, her feet on the dashboard.
"Dammit! We're late!" Georgia jumps as Max slaps the top of the dashboard by her feet, and he smiles at her apologetically.
Georgia grabs Max's shoulder and points across the street, where Lucy stands on the balcony of another building. She looks at Jude, tears filling her eyes, as she realizes how much he loves her. Max grabs Georgia tightly in his arms.
"She loves you!" He yells to Jude. He turns back to Georgia and smiles. "And I love you." Georgia grins back at him.
"And I love you."
