PSL - Susan Pays Lee a Visit

[lee_fallon]

Lee was more than a little excited to have Susan come to his apartment. It wasn't as if he'd never had visitors before, but his relationship with Susan was a unique one, and the fact that she wanted to come to his space and see him felt like an important moment between them, a new step in their friendship.

In preparation of her arrival, Lee had gone and bought some of the beer she liked, made sure he had wine on hand that he thought she might find happy, and had procured a coffee grinder as a gift, one he thought she'd appreciate and enjoy. He didn't have much in his place to clean, but he made sure everything was tidy, burned some pleasant incense to assure it smelled nice, bought some pastries, savory and sweet, in case Susan was hungry.

As far as Valentine's Days went, spending time with Susan today wasn't a bad deal at all. Lee enjoyed her company immensely, and he looked forward to being able to share his afternoon with an amazing woman, an intelligent, fascinating person, and a good friend.

"I'm sorry about the sour note in the middle," Lee replied with a dry chuckle. "I do feel better," he added with a small smile. "I'm glad I only had one piece of chocolate."

Tucking his blanket around his lap, Lee shifted to sit up more fully on the couch. "I know death is inevitable," he said, looking at the blanket stretched over his knees. "I don't want to live forever. I think that would be unbearable. I just..." He sighed, and he knew he couldn't look up and see Susan's face as he went on. "I'm not ready anymore. Not yet."

"Yes, definitely. I don't want to know what would have happened if you would have been a chocolate glutton. A maelstrom of bodily fluids, possibly?" Susan knows it's a bit rude to eye the last pastry on the plate, but it's not Lee will eat it any time soon, and how rude can accepting a sweet piece of food really be?

"You're not ready to die anymore?" This was what she had worried about since meeting his Eric. "Is it because of the romantic love in your life now?"
