“Whoa!”
                  “Yeah,” I agree, “I am in no way complaining over here, but that was kind of … intense.  What happened to spark that?”
                  Davis rolls up onto one elbow facing me, his head on his hand.  “I was sitting there in the clinic, waiting for you to come out.  I couldn’t stop thinking about seeing you, holding you when you got out.  Worrying a bit about your appointment.  Wondering how you were.  I remembered that it was about this time last year that Neil started pursuing you.”  He was thinking about me while I was wondering how his appointment was going.  Funny.
                  “Mavis, that’s so weird.  I was sort of thinking about the same thing.”
                  An instant frown changes his previously relaxed face.  He pinches his eyebrows together and lines of concern form.  I see uncertainty in his eyes. “And?”  he asks.
                  “No need to frown,” I run my fingers up to smooth away the lines between his brows, “I was thinking how much you must actually care … love… me, to make that appointment for us.  Us.”  I pause a moment to consider how to explain.  “Neil, God I hate to even say his name, NEVER thought of anything but himself.  Not me.  Not US.  Because to him there was no US.”  I am pleased to see the frown leave Davis’ face.  He reaches over to stroke a piece of my hair away from my face and trace his finger down my jaw to my lips.
                  “I used to be like Neil.”  There is audible sadness in his voice.
    I shake my head in disagreement.   “You are NOTHING like him.  Neil never cared for me like you do.  He didn’t.  Ever.  He dumped me.  Dumped me when Robyn turned up pregnant.  Dumped me with Randall to fend for myself.”  The last thought causes me to shudder.
                  “You cold?”  Davis asks and pulls the blanket up around me.  He doesn’t know what the shudder was about – that it wasn’t from a chill.  At least not an external one.  Something nagging at the back of my brain has made me shiver.
                  I cover, “A little.”
                  “We’re good, right, Lizard?”  Davis asks.
                  I reassure him, “Mavis, we are more… than… good.”  I kiss him in between words.
                  Inside, I still question how we are going to be.  As a couple.  As individuals.  How are we going to be together and not become obsessive and consumed by each other.  It’s impossible to be together all the time.  I don’t know how Davis feels, but I want to be with him all the time .
                  When I voice my concerns, he is nothing but positive.  He tells me he feels the same – he wants to be with me all the time, too.  Good, so it’s not just me that is swept up.  Davis tells me it will work out.  We’ll hang out at the dorms when we need to and go to his place when I have nights off.  We can’t plan everything, he says.  We have to let it happen.  But I just want to know him better.  Jeez, we’ve discussed birth control, but I don’t know his favorite movie or color or ice cream.  He again reassures me that we have time, and that the answers to those questions are, The Hangover, blue and chocolate.  I store the information.
                  The remainder of January flies by, just as Davis said it would.  He was most happy seven days after visiting the clinic.  We ran away to his condo and he did finally get me naked – in every way.

                  I went to my first audition for Once Upon A Mattress four days ago.  It must have gone well because two days ago, they called me back to read for all the female leads, sing a bit more and dance.  Of the three, dancing is probably my weakest area.  I love to
