#26 – Forever
She doesn't realize that forever is a long time for him; she doesn't experience
time on the same psychological scale as he does; what seems like forever to her
is only mere seconds for him.
#27 – Blood
"Oh yes, there will be blood," the cryptic voice on the television says, and
she shudders at his side; he pulls a
little closer, while laughing at her; she really was sweet, jumping at a movie
that didn't compare to what they saw everyday; "I am not scared," she says,
pulling away from him; "Sure…" he says and she glares at him for a split
second; moments later, she's jumping into his lap, "Oh goddess, what was that?"; fraidy cat.
#28 – Sickness
He was playing nurse-maid; when you go on a mission, you expect a lot of things
to happen, but catching the flu isn't one of them; she says that little twerp
that defected to the Brotherhood—Josh, Jake, Jamie, John, whatever the hell his
name was—sneezed on her; "It's," she pauses to sneeze, "the ultimate form of
attack."
#29 – Melody
When he first came to the mansion, she used to hum a lot almost to the point of
annoyance; walking down the hall, she would hum; preparing breakfast in the
morning, she would hum; tending to her garden, she would hum; she doesn't hum
at all now; he wonders if it's because of him.
#30 – Star
"Make a wish," she says, pointing out a shooting star; he
doesn't have the guts to tell her that he doesn't believe in wishes.

Author's Notes: I was watching The Saw II as I was writing this, so #27 is blamed on that (that's my favorite line from the movie). And I think #26 will make more sense to comicverse fans more so than fans who only know the movieverse.
