Eddi woke up because of the light streaming into her eyes. She sat up and looked around confused. She wasn't at home, when she turned around suddenly everything clicked into place and she remembered.
Luc, He was here, he'd come for her, he loved her. So many thoughts ran through Eddi's head. She knew the two of them needed to talk, she didn't even really understand why he'd come here. How could he leave his research, he was mad about it. Eddi was also confused about what he'd been going on about when he'd said his life was falling apart. She knew she needed answers, but was quite worried about what they'd be.
Luc stirred in his sleep and started too wake, reaching out his hand to grab hers again. She quickly pushed her thoughts out of her head and smiled down at him, just focusing on the fact he was here. They were together.
"Morning," Eddi whispered to him.
"Morning," He replied sleepily.
"You slept for a long time, you lazy man!" Eddi joked.
"Yeah, well I haven't really slept through the night in ages," Luc admitted sitting up.
"What you on about?" Eddi asked confused,
"All in good time," Luc joked "Now how about some breakfast?"
"Umm sure, I know a place we can go to." Eddi told him.
Both of them got up and Luc followed Eddi as she led him to a small cafe. They didn't say much, they didn't need to. Luc eyes just followed Eddi, god had he missed her; he'd forgotten how amazing she was. When they got there Eddi sat at a table in the corner.
"The foods pretty good here," Eddi told him.
"Good I'm starving," Luc told her.
They both ordered, Eddi telling Luc what was best, the waitress treated Eddi like an old friend. It was obvious to Luc she was settled here, and he wondered what she'd do know he'd turned up. Maybe he'd made a mistake coming here, what if he wrecked her life again? He couldn't handle that, not again.
"So you want to tell me what actually made you too decide to come here?" Eddi asked him.
"I'm following some advice," Luc told her, gulping down his water.
"Advice, that doesn't sound like you." Eddi said,
"Yeah well some things Sacha said to me made realise some harsh truths. So I decided to follow his advice, I decided to live." Luc told her, staring down at his hands.
"You decided to live, what have you been doing for 30 years then?" Eddi joked.
"Hmm... well my bodies been functioning, hearts been beating but this is more about emotions. You remember how bad I am with them, well hopefully that's going to change." Luc admitted.
"Wow Luc, I really hope so." Eddi told him, grabbing his hands
"Do you remember the messy old days, when things were just about first dates, nothing serious and defiantly no trips to IKEA? God that feels like a life time ago, how'd we end up like this, huh? Having to go halfway across the world to be together." Luc asked,
"God I don't know, it's all such a mess. You left, then you came back, then I left and didn't come back. But you came to find me and we're together now. That's all that matters." Eddi told him.
"You've really changed." Luc told her, slightly shocked.
"Yeah well I think I've finally grown up, got Liam to thank for that." Eddi told him.
"Oh how is Liam?" Luc asked.
"Yeah he's good, getting on with his life. He's not too happy I moved away but he couldn't really stop me. I didn't want to be in Leeds anymore, too many bad memories." Eddi told him.
"Yeah, I know the feeling. Well I'm glad you left, seems like it was the right thing for you." Luc told her.
"It was what about you then Mr. Hemmingway? I thought you were a hopeless wanderer, how come you have only just left Holby?" Eddi asked,
"I couldn't leave, my memories of you were all in that hospital, and so I poured myself into my work. Poured myself into my research, in the lab where we had our first kiss. Got so bad I even ended up sleeping there most nights." Luc told her.
"Oh Luc...I'm so sorry. I really messed us up didn't I? So glad we're here now." Eddi said.
"It's not your fault, I messed us up. It was my fault." Luc told her.
"Let's not think about, you finished your breakfast?" Eddi asked.
"Yeah, it was pretty good." Luc answered.
"Good come on let's go for a walk," Eddi said jumping up and dragging Luc out of the cafe.
They walked for hours, Eddi showed Luc the apartment she had, the hospital she was working in as a nurse, and she showed him her favourite places and explained every aspect of her new life here. Luc took it all in, marvelling at her face lit up when she explained about the people she'd helped. She looked so happy, she had really come a long way since that dark, cruel day months ago where she'd led on a trolley in his lab, falling apart. She'd made a new life now, one she was very keen to share with Luc.
