Zev and Kelly sat together on the couch, a thick tension hanging between them. Zev, still nursing the aftermath of his injuries, was frustrated-his legs were far from healed, but at least his waist had improved. That small victory did little to ease his growing sense of impatience.

Kelly, however, had long since grown accustomed to striking him. Before she could stop herself, her hand whipped out, landing a firm slap across his face. The sharp sound echoed in the room.

Zev blinked, stunned. His fingers flew to his cheek as he leaned into her, his gaze wide and incredulous. "Why do you keep hitting me?"

Kelly froze, her eyes widening with a mix of surprise and guilt. She had done it so many times it had almost become reflex.

It wasn't right before, but now-things were different.

The silence hung for a moment before Kelly muttered, a touch of humor in her voice, "You've got tough skin. A slap won't do much damage."

Zev sighed, his head resting on her chest, the weight of his frustration evident in the way his body slackened. "I have a headache."

Kelly laughed softly, a sound that seemed to shake off some of the tension. She tried to nudge him off, but with his towering frame, it was like pushing against a wall.

After a while, she looked down at him, her voice quieter now. "I took some time off. What do you think about going on a trip?"

Zev's eyes brightened instantly, his surprise palpable. "Why the sudden interest in traveling?"

Kelly hesitated, her mind flitting between thoughts. "I ... I want to take you places. Show you things."

She paused, letting the weight of her words sink in. They'd spent years trapped in one place, their medical team confined to the harsh realities of Sudan. And Zev, in his own way, had been imprisoned too.

"Alright," Zev said after a moment, nodding slowly. "But I'm not exactly in peak condition. My legs-"

"I'll push you," Kelly said, her voice soft but determined as she brushed a stray lock of hair from his face.

Zev's grin returned, brighter this time. "If you keep looking at me like that, I might start thinking you've got feelings for me."

Kelly rolled her eyes, but the smile tugging at her lips gave her away. She didn't bother answering.

Zev, emboldened by her silence, moved closer, his hand inching toward the strap of her top.

Kelly's first instinct was to stop him, but then she hesitated. Maybe it wasn't worth fighting him over something so small.

When she didn't resist, Zev's eyes lit up, as if he had won some unspoken victory. He pulled her up gently,

eager to continue.
