"I thought you wanted to move to Alaska?"
"Well, I got a discount on a nice little cottage here. And besides, they have free healthcare."
Post Season Two, but with a twist. Triple Drabble. One-shot.
Eve Polastri wakes up in an unfamiliar bed, between a pair of familiar arms.
"Are you feeling better yet?" Villanelle asks her.
"You're too impatient," Eve laughs. "It's only been five days."
"And besides, you haven't thanked me for saving your life yet today," says Villanelle.
"Thank you," says Eve. "Thank you for shooting the attacker that was behind me, with your gun that magically appeared in your hand," Eve sighs.
"See I knew you'd come around," Villanelle smiles. "Now, eat your Jell-O. I brought you your favorite flavor. We can even watch that dramatic TV show you like to watch, about the doctors who have sex in the hospital," Villanelle offers.
"I'm not actually hurt, I'm just overwhelmed," says Eve.
"I'm very underwhelmed," says Villanelle. "I thought Canada would have mountains like in the pictures," she sighs. "But it is so very flat here."
"That's what you get when you pick the plains," says Eve.
"Remind me to pick a city on the coast for our getaway next time," Villanelle offers. "At least they have local maple syrup here. I hear it's from the french province," she laughs.
"Yes, probably," says Eve.
"Would you like some?" Villanelle offers.
"Not on my Jell-O," says Eve.
"No, I mean on pancakes. I'm making you those next," says Villanelle.
"You spoil me," says Eve, as she lies back into bed.
Villanelle lights a fire in the fireplace, and returns twenty minutes later with a full stack of pancakes, as promised.
"I thought you wanted to move to Alaska?"
"Well, I got a discount on a nice little cottage here. And besides, they have free healthcare."
Eve smiles at this. Villanelle always tries to be thoughtful, even if she sometimes gets caught up in the details.
"Kiss me again," asks Villanelle.
Eve does.
