Post-coital discussions - what are yours about?
Usually, Michael will tell me how beautiful or amazing I am, and then he'll pass out. Which is definitely alright, because we wear each other out. A lot.
I knew I was in love when...
It may sound odd, but I knew I was in love with Michael when he made love to me for the first time. Some people don't believe in love at first sight, and I never did either, but... when I met Michael - when he restored life to my wilted flowers - there was something about him that captured my attention. That first date left me feeling so comfortable. Not so empty. After what'd happened with Logan and Hope... I was so broken up inside. Outside his room... when he kissed me for that very first time... it was like my wounds were healed. And then we made love and I could just feel it deep within my heart that we were meant to be together. And look at us now. We're happily engaged and we've surpassed everything life's thrown in our faces. It's a rare sort of love that Michael and I have. He's not just my fiance... he's my best friend. And my partner for life.
How do you respond to feelings of loneliness?
Loneliness is nothing new to me. I spent a lot of time feeling alone. But then Michael came along and he was the very air I breathed. Of course, with his powers he couldn't stay in the city for very long without growing ill so he'd have to leave every so often. When we first met he could last maybe two weeks. Now? Nearly six months without leaving. It's a trade-off, really. I can't leave the city for too long without feeling drained - I think it's from the massive amounts of energy around to draw my power from - but being away from him is the hardest thing for me to do. Before he went away for that very first time, Michael bought me a stuffed dragon whom he named Roy. Roy's job was to be there to remind me that Michael would be back and to keep me company. How do I deal with loneliness? I go to sleep at night holding a little dragon named Roy.
