On A Night Like This
Fleur sat on the decking of the cottage she shared with her girlfriend, looking up at the stars. Dora was sitting down by the lake as she always was these days, as though she could find answers to the world's problems in the water.
Dora loved water, Fleur knew that, but she couldn't help but worry about her. Lately, her obsession had gotten worse, and Fleur often wasn't enough to tear her away from the lake edge. It had never been like that before.
With a sigh, she stood, thinking that it was worth one chance before she retired for the night. She walked along the little pathway, wincing when she stepped onto a stone because her slippers were only thin.
"Dora? Dora."
The pink haired woman turned and held her hand out to Fleur, smiling when she took it. This was good, it meant that Fleur had a good chance of getting Dora inside at a reasonable time tonight.
"Are you okay?" Dora asked, gazing up at her from where she was sitting on the grassy bank.
"I am ready to go to bed," Fleur admitted. "I wish you to come with me."
Dora nodded and looked back at the water for a moment before she pushed herself onto her feet.
"I know you've been putting up with a lot from me lately," Dora admitted, wrapping her arm around Fleur's waist. "And I'm sorry, sweetheart. I just… I don't know what to do and the water… it helps me think sometimes."
"I know," Fleur murmured, pressing a kiss to Dora's cheek. "I just worry about you."
"I'm sorry," Dora repeated, kissing her softly. "Let's go to bed. I don't know about you, but a cuddle sounds perfect right now."
Fleur smiled at her. It wasn't fixed, and their world was still at war but for tonight, it appeared she had her Dora back.
