sunday mornings.
everything was so familiar to her. His touch, his smell, the sound of his breath in her hair, the safety in his arms. With her eyes closed she imagined she was in their old bedroom, sleeping in his arms on a Sunday morning. She imagined they were sleeping in late and that everything was normal just like it used to be. His arms were wrapped around her body, holding her gently and His head laid on top of Hers. Everything felt the same even if the circumstances were totally different.
He moved slightly in the sound of the door and opened his eyes. Maggie was standing on the entrance calling his name in whispers. She motioned for him to follow her and he slowly tried to move away from Loralai but as he was about to slip away she held on his arm. Will looked at her direction, smiling "I have to go to work." He whispered and she let out a soft groan, begging him to stay in her own way.
Will laughed but insisted he had to go. He stroked her cheek with his finger and leaned in to kiss her nose, the way he used to do on Sunday mornings. That same moment Loralai moved her head upwards and his lips landed on hers. The kiss was quick but it was a kiss nonetheless. She opened her eyes in surprise and as soon as Will tried to apologize and explain himself she reached for the back of his neck and pulled him towards her again. This time the kiss was longer and it hid so many words that neither of them had got to say yesterday. Same taste, same feelings. He pulled back a little to look at her and she caressed his chin, smiling back at him. "I'll be back as soon as I can" he reassured her before leaving the room.
Dr. Rhodes entered the room with his tablet after he left. There was a pretty smirk on his face that proved he had seen what happened. Loralai couldn't help but laugh at the way he was looking at her.
"You got something to say doc?" She asked jokingly and he negatively shook his head and shrugged. He returned his gaze to his tablet, looking at her exams and then left it on the table. He listened to her heart with his stethoscope and then checked on her wound. She watched him move around, wondering if he had good news until he sat down on the edge of the bed.
"It seems you'll be out of here soon."
"How soon?"
Connor bit his lip, staring at her like he was making up his mind at that moment. "Let's see how the rest of the day will go and if everything proves to be as perfect as it is now you can go. Does that sound good?"
"It sounds perfect!" Said Jay coming in the room. Connor and Loralai looked at him suprised when they heard his voice. He was in way too early which couldn't be good. Dr. Rhodes nodded in understanding and walked out the room, leaving the two of them alone. Jay closed the door behind him and walked closer to Loralai.
"You don't look happy." She noted, trying to lighten the mood.
"We didn't find the flashdrive. Atwater looked everywhere, someone must have taken it." Jay sighed, sitting down. "Please tell me you have another copy!"
"Of course I had copies jay but I doubt you'll find them. He must have sent his men to look for the evidence in my house and destroy them."
"Where have you hidden them?"
"There's one more flashdrive on the dollhouse book!"
"The one you had when you were a kid?"
"Yes that one. It's hidden in the envelope on chapter 12." Jay nodded and stood up. Before he was out the door Loralai called for him and he turned on his heel "since you're going to my house can you bring me something comfy to wear?" She paused "And my sketchbook?"
"Sure." He said and exited the room. Before he exited the hospital he heard Will calling his name and he stopped on his tracks, turning around and looking at him.
"Is everything ok?"
"Honestly?" He sighed "I don't know but I'm doing my best Will."
"Where are you going now?"
"Her apartment. We have to find some files and she wants me to bring her some stuff." He paused "do you wanna come with me? Bring her what she needs so I can go directly back to the station?"
"Yes of course. I'll let Maggie know and I'll meet you outside."

When they got to the house, Jay and Atwater looked for anything that could help them in the investigation. Will headed directly to her bedroom to pick up her stuff. He looked at her desk for her sketchbook and her pencils, slipping them in one of her bags. Then he looked at her closet and searched for her old favorite pair of sweatpants, her grey hollister pants, he knew she loved and then moving around the rest of the clothes he looked for one of her old warm sweaters. He finally found a purple one her recognized from when they were dating. it in the bottom under everything so He pulled it out and as he did a Polaroid dropped out of it on the ground. It fell backwards and leaving the sweatpants on the bed He quickly ducked to pick it up and turned it around.
He looked at it, smiling but then his smile faded away. At first he thought that his mind was playing games with him. There was Loralai kissing a man, who at first seemed very unfamiliar to him but looking at it better he had many similarities with his brother.
it cant be. He thiught to himself, stepping backwards and sitting on the bed, his breath was caught in his throat, his heart fallen out of his chest. He didn't want to believe it but the truth was right there in front of his eyes.
"Will!" Jay knocked on the door getting his attention. Will hid the Polaroid on his pocket swiftly before jay could see it and looked up, clearing his throat "we're done. Are you coming?"
Will didn't open his mouth, he simply motioned his head and stayed silent. There were so many questions he wanted to ask but he had no courage to ask them. Jay left leaving him alone again and a tear creeped out of his eyes that will was quick to wipe away. All these sunday mornings he hoped of getting again with loralai burned in an instamt flame.
