"What are you feeling guilty for? I'm hoping we've got some longevity in this, so we've got time for the better bits. It's just been a pain in the ass that this hit. The long-haul flights are always a trigger, I just hoped I'd catch it before it turned into this. Seriously unfun for both of us. It's okay, though, because bath means getting naked and getting naked is always fun. Wait, you can massage? I will be your biggest fan for all of eternity if you can massage my neck and head. I don't even care if they're good massages. There's just something about gentle fingers on your scalp after a migraine. Seriously, almost as good as an orgasm." Winston took both of Jude's hands and let him help him off the bed. He was a bit woozy going from sitting to standing but he leaned against Jude and waited for it to pass. His stomach was still feeling a little on the dodgy side but he was definitely feeling leaps and bounds better to what he had been the day before. "You and Ree are always going to have a history, love. That's not something I find intimidating. I know with your own insecurities, your mind plays tricks on you that you're a bad person or that the history somehow means you don't deserve a smooth run now. It's just not true. Everyone has flaws. Everyone's made mistakes. I happen to be really good at communication. I made a career out of it. So, I've got your back. History's not going to repeat. It's okay for you and Ree to keep that as part of what makes you you today. You'll start to heal even more once you re-learn that you've never really a bad person. I'm determined to help you however you need me to. Granted, not when you're holding me over a spew bucket because I'm kind of useless when that happens, we've well established. I would totally kiss you right about now too but not until I'm brushed my teeth."
