In Kaylee’s dream, Simon rarely leaves her side. He goes off to the hospital to work, but that’s just about the only time. It makes him happy, so she doesn’t mind much. Plus, she’s there at the end of his shift to pick him up. Many times she arrives in some new transport she’s been working on in those hours alone. He mends the people and she finds stray machines to put to rights. It’s all perfect. Sometimes she waits for him outside of the hospital and other times she goes in to find him. Either way they end up back together and they take off.

He tells her about his day and she listens. She doesn’t always understand every single thing that he says, but it’s the same when it’s her turn to talk about whatever new toy she’s found to fascinate her. Even in the parts they don’t quite comprehend they still smile and enjoy the happiness that it brings the other.

Sometimes they go out somewhere straight from the hospital. A ballet or a play or a party. On those occasions she’s all decked out in silks and brocades and jewels. The kind of things she once would have looked on and thought glamorous beyond belief. Now she has closets full and others look on her that way. Other times, the majority, really, she’s dressed simple and practical and he looks at her like she’s just as beautiful as she is any other time. On those occasions they go straight home and they make love. Lots of that.

Their bedroom holds the echoes of their laughter. They fool around on their humongous bed. Kissing and licking and biting and touching. Giggling and playing hide and seek under the covers. He always finds her and she always lets him. Then the echoes are of moans and gasps and other sounds of pleasure; their names shouted out and whispered in turn. They lie there, their bodies intertwined, happy to just be and be
