When There's You I Feel Whole - RP with det_don_flack
Anna leaned against the living room couch panting softly, silently cursing herself for forgetting her Vicodin in the bedroom. She didn't have the strength to get it, but the pain was beginning to come back and she'd forgotten how bad it was until now. Being lucid did that to a person she realized. Anna had managed to put on jeans and her favorite black off-the-shoulder sweater, her hair partially clipped back and done up. Maria had done most of the work when she dropped by with a box full of magazines and catalogs -- Anna was her maid of honor and her wedding planner. And as her best friend, Maria knew Anna would go stir-crazy with nothing to do and that would lead to her hurting herself. So she gladly left the work to Anna before taking off. Anna slowly made her way to the kitchen before that in an attempt to make a dinner, but had failed miserably - as evidenced by the sink full of dirty dishes. She was angry and ashamed that she couldn't even cook a dinner without collapsing or getting winded. So she decided to lift the box of wedding catalogs onto the coffee table. Which, in retrospect, had been one of her most idiotic ideas in a while. She tossed a few magazines from the box onto the table, and that was how she ended up against the couch panting, fighting off the pain. Some anniversary, indeed.
