In a Heartbeat: Chapter Four

Fandom: Extraction

PAIRING: TYLER RAKE AND ESME DRUMMOND (ESTABLISHED OFC)

WARNINGS: angst. Big time angst.

SUMMARY:  Dhaka nearly ended everything before it even began.  In it’s aftermath and with Tyler’s life teetering on the threshold between life and death, Esme is about to realize just how strong she can be.  And that love happens when it happens. There’s no rules. No rhyme or reason. No timeline.

TWO MONTHS LATER

“I hope we don’t forget anything,” Esme laments, hands on her hips as she surveys the room. “It’s not like we can just hop in the car and head over here to pick shit up.”

“What’s there to forget? I came in here with basically nothing.”

“I’ve bought all kinds of things since then. Not to mention everything Nik has picked up for us along the way.”

With her head cocked to the side and an index digit pressed to her lips, she uses the fingers of her free hand to count out the various items, announcing each out loud. Brand new sneakers, t-shirts, several pairs of sweatpants, and shorts were all purchased to be worn during his gruelling and often painful physiotherapy sessions. A handful of smaller personal effects: toothbrush and paste, electric razor, brush and comb. And a brand new winter jacket, beanie, and boots for the start of their life in Austria.

Tyler winces as he gingerly rises from the couch across the room; using both the coffee table and a simple, black metal cane for balance and support. That morning’s final rehab session had seemed especially brutal; an already weary and aching body pushed even further past its limits. Yet it’s a welcomed pain, a sign that things are working correctly and that he’s healing and well on his way to recovery. And while he isn’t thrilled about having to use an assistive device or having to sport the brace that keeps his surgically repaired right knee stabilized, it’s far better than the alternative of not being able to walk at all.

Or, worse, being dead.

He slowly makes his way towards her. “What about my other boots?”

“What other boots?”

“The ones I had on my feet. When I was brought in here.”

“Babe, I threw those out the first day.”

He scowls.

“I tried, believe me. I wanted to save them. But they were completely unsalvageable.”

“They were practically brand new.”

“Brand new a decade ago, maybe. They had definitely seen better days. They were a complete mess BEFORE Dhaka ever happened. I promise I did my very best. That I tried everything I could think of short of giving them mouth-to-mouth. They flatlined. There was no hope.”

It’s the truth. She HAD tried to salvage them. And the bulletproof tact vest that he’d been wearing. And she can vividly remember the moment she’d stood at the sink in one of the many public bathrooms, working her fingers raw as she used scalding hot water and soap from a hand dispenser to vigorously and relentlessly scrub at all of the blood. It had still been damp and fresh, and the smell of copper had hung heavily in the air; the water, soap suds, and the porcelain of the sink turning a bright, furious red. And she had sobbed until she was breathless and gasping for air; tears streaming down her face as her desperate and terrified brain tried to make sense of where she was, what had happened, and just what she thought she would accomplish.

He’s going to use them again, she had argued. Common sense no longer her friend and ally. He’s going to be okay, and he’s going to wear these, so they need to be clean.

They HAVE to be clean.

“Those were my favourite ones. I had them for years. And you just go and throw them out? What…?”

“I’ll buy you another pair.” Her response -and tone of voice- is far more curt and aggressive than necessary. And she immediately regrets it; noticing the concern that darkens his eyes and furrows his brow. “Maybe you’ll like them better,” she quickly adds and throws in a half-assed smile.

It was the stroll down memory lane; the visit to that dark and scary place that she has no desire to ever return to. But the harsh reality is that while she may never step foot in Dhaka again, it will forever be etched in her mind and upon her soul. A traumatic and harrowing experience that haunts her in the dead of night and on those early, rainy or snowy mornings; when the house is still and eerily quiet and she has too much time on her hands to think.

“Esme…” Tentatively reaching out for her, his knuckles skim along her cheek, hating the tears that sparkle in her eyes and the way both lower and chin tremble as she fights back her emotions. “...I was joking. Just giving you a hard time. Teasing you. I didn’t…”

“I’m sorry. For snapping at you. I guess I’m just really overwhelmed. It’s hitting home, you know? We are FINALLY getting out of here. And in less than ten hours, we’re going to be starting a whole new life. In Austria. Together.”

“Is that a bad thing or…?”

“No! God no! I have been waiting almost nine months for this. For you to be healthy enough to walk out of here. This is everything I have wanted for so long; for you to get back on your feet and for us to hide ourselves away and concentrate on each other.”

“And you’re not doubting your decision or questioning whether or not we’re doing the right thing?”

“Are you?”

“I asked you first.”

“I’ve never questioned if I’ve done the right thing. Not when it comes to you. Do YOU have cold feet?”

“I’m a little nervous,” he admits. “Last time I lived with someone, it didn’t end so well. And it was mostly my fault. Guess I’m just worried I’m gonna fuck it up. That I’m going to end up being a huge failure and you’re going regret every hooking up with me and…”

“That’s NOT going to happen. It’s NEVER going to happen. And what if it’s the other way around? What if I drive you so batshit insane, YOU regret ever meeting ME?”

“Esme, I love you. More than I ever thought I could love someone. But you weigh a hundred pounds soaking wet. You’re small enough to carry around in my pocket. I think I can handle you.”

“Well, you know that say; about tiny people being the ones you really have to watch out for. We’re sketchy, cagey little things. Everyone underestimates us.”

“What are you going to do? Bite me in the shins? Head butt me in the nuts like an angry goat?”

“Did you honestly just compare me to livestock?”

“Goats are little and cute. You’re little and cute. It’s an accurate comparison.”

“That isn’t the smooth and effortless save you think it is.”

“If you ever do come at me, all I have to do is…” Placing palm flat on the top of her head, he easily holds her at arm’s length. “...and that’ll keep you right where you are until you calm down. Can’t even take a swing at me. Your arms won’t reach that far.”

“Is this how it’s going to be? For the rest of our lives? You taking cheap shots just because I happen to be vertically challenged?”

“Vertically challenged?” He chuckles when she slaps his hand away. “That’s what the kids are calling it these days? You’re not just a short ass anymore?”

Smirking, she returns her back to him, returning to the open duffle bag in the middle of the bed. “You are really pushing your luck, buddy. You’re already on my second-to-last nerve, and we haven’t even gotten to Austria yet. All the shit I’ve done for you in the past nine months, and this is the thanks I get? This is how you show your gratitude? By making fun of me?”

“You’re right. I’m sorry.” Draping a forearm across her collarbone, both knee and back crack when he bends down to press a kiss to her temple. “ I’m sorry that you’re freakishly small. And that your parents’ DNA screwed up somewhere along the way, and you haven’t grown since you were twelve.”

Smirking, she directs a playful elbow into his stomach. “Asshole.”

“You’re just way too easy to pick on. You know I only do it to get a reaction outta ya, right? It’s fun; seeing you get all hot under the collar.”

“If that’s your idea of fun…”

“Well, I can think of a few other things I’d rather resort to for a good time, but…”

“Have you ever thought that maybe I’M the normal size one and you’re just freakishly tall?”

“I hate to break it to you, but being four foot nothing is NOT normal.”

“I’m five foot three, thank you very much!”

“Be honest.”

“I am being honest! I’m five foot three!”

“You wouldn’t be five foot three even in heels. Tell the truth.”

“I am! I’m…”

“Esme…”

“Fine…” She sighs in exasperation and surrender. “I’m five feet. And three-quarters!”

“Those three-quarters don’t matter.”

“Sure they do. They make me closer to five foot one, don’t they? And for the record? You are freakishly tall. And big. In many ways.”

“I would be to you. You’re a munchkin.”

“I swear to Christ…”

“What are you going to do? I can’t take a threat seriously when it comes from someone that practically doesn’t have to kneel when they’re giving me…”

“You are one SICK human being, you know that?”

“In all the ways you like best.”

“I also think you have some weird size kink going on.”

“Size kink? What the hell is THAT?”

“Technically, a kink just means unconventional sexual behaviour or preferences.”

“I know what ‘kink’ means. But size kink?”

“You get off on the fact that I’m so much smaller than you are. It was probably one of the things that attracted you to me. You liked the idea of being so much bigger; all that power and strength compared to my size means you can dominate me much easier than other people. And you DO like being in charge, so…”

“You were tiny and cute. I liked that.”

“So did your dick, apparently.”

“I will admit, it did like it. A lot. It still does.”

“Definite size kink. I’m freakishly small, and you’re freakishly big. We’re a very odd couple. You see the way the nurses and everyone here look at us whenever we’re out for walks together.”

“I just assumed it’s ‘cause you’re so fucking hot.”

“As much as I appreciate you consistently stroking my ego, it’s because we look weird together. Maybe not in a BAD way. But we do. And there’s nothing wrong with having a size kink. That’s something to be ashamed about. I guess maybe I have one too. I seem drawn to men that are a lot taller than I am.”

“Everyone is taller than you are.”

“But you’re definitely the record holder when it comes to height. And weight. You’re well beyond what’s normal for me.”

“I’m sorry. That I wrecked your vagina for everyone else.”

“Tyler, I swear…”

“Who am I kidding? There isn’t going to BE anyone else.” He reaches over her shoulder for an item at the top of the bag. A small yet neatly wrapped bundle; pristine white tissue paper secured by strips of purple satin. “What’s this?”

“This…” She snatches it away before he can get a firm hold on it. “...is none of your business.”

“Whose is it?”

“Mine.”

“Why’s it a secret?”

“It’s not a secret. It’s a surprise.”

“For who?”

“Who do you think? Jesus….”

“But I don’t like surprises.”

“Well, too bad. Learn to like them. You’re in for a lot of them, trust me. Living with me is no easy feat.”

“If you’re talking about me finding out about your twelve different personalities…”

“Don’t make me smother in your sleep.”

“Can’t I get some kind of hint? When it comes to what to expect? Give me something here. Just something small. So I can kinda prepare myself.”

“Nik was NOT kidding. When she told me how difficult you can be. On the bright side, I have experience with FAR more problematic people than you.”

“Baby, you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

“If you’re trying to scare me away, it isn’t going to work. I’ve already been through the depths of hell with you. There’s no way it could possibly get any worse.”

“Be careful what you wish for, Esme.”

“Please…” She gives a derisive snort “....you’re harmless. Everyone else who meets you may think you’re scary and intimidating, but you’ve never made me wet my pants.”

“I’ve made you wet them in different ways.”

Sighing in exasperation, she briefly closes her eyes.

“Just give me a little hint. About what the surprise is. I’m not asking for much here.”

“You are such a control freak, you know that?”

“I just don’t like surprises. I like knowing what’s coming. What to expect. So cut me a little slack, yeah?”

“It’s something to wear.”

“For who to wear?”

“For ME to wear. It’s black, and it’s soft, and it’s sort of shimmery. And it’s something for our first night in our own place together.”

“It’s something like THAT.”

Nodding, she zips up the bag and turns to face him. “Do you realize it’s the first time we will be completely alone in NINE MONTHS? No nurses, no doctors, no one just wandering in whenever they feel like it. No Nik or Yaz just showing up out of the blue. Just me and you. In the middle of nowhere. Where no one can hear you scream.”

“You’re the noisy one.”

“I meant when I kill you.”

“If a bullet to the throat can’t do it, what makes you think you can?”

“Oh baby, I have powers that you can’t even begin to understand. You’re not the only one that can be difficult to live with.”

“You know, you might be the first person I’ve ever been legitimately scared of.”

“You should be. I have ways of hurting you….” Sliding a hand between their bodies, she slides her down down his stomach and allows it to briefly rest on his crotch. The tip of her tongue sweeping across her top lip as she gives a firm squeeze. “...that no one else has ever thought of.”

“I’m spooked.”

“Rightfully so.”

“You’re going to cut my dick off, aren’t you.”

“If I find your dick inside of anyone else? You’re damn right I will.”

“You’ll never have to worry about that. I may be a lot of things, but a cheat isn’t one of them.”

“But for just being an insufferable asshole at times? I would NEVER. I’d miss your dick way more than even you would.”

“So that IS why you’re with me. It’s totally the dick. And what I can do with it.”

“Well, it’s not the ONLY reason. But it is pretty high on the list.”

She squeals when he aggressively smacks her ass, laughing as fingers bite through the denim of her jeans and he pulls her tightly against him. A long, content sigh escapes when he kisses her; standing on her tiptoes with both arms wrapped around his torso as she eagerly responds. Her eyes remaining closed when he pulls away, smiling at the feel of soft, warm lips as they connect with her forehead.

It remains a mystery. How such an enormous, strong man known for his strength and his aggression and violent and bloody lifestyle, can possess such tenderness. But he’s an entirely different being when they’re alone, and the outside world ceases to exist; patient and kind, his face and his voice much softer, his touch and his kisses so attentive.

“For the record…” Remaining on her tiptoes, her eyes flutter open, and she smiles up at him. “...I DO love you.”

“I know. I’m not quite sure what I ever did to deserve it, and sometimes I wonder if you’ve lost every ounce of your sanity, and that’s why you stick around, but…” His hands move upwards, the simple movement causing pain in the surgically repaired left shoulder. But he successfully bites back the wince, refusing to allow his broken yet healing body to ruin the moment as he cradles her face in his palms. “...I do know it. And I love you. Even when I’m giving you a hard time.”

“It’s part of your charm. I think.”

“So what’s going to happen when you put that surprise 0n and things don’t work properly? On my end.”

“It’s not that it NEVER works. It’s just that it’s hit or miss.”

“We’ve never actually tried…THAT.”

“But we’ve tried other things. With a forty percent success rate. That’s pretty damn good, considering what you’ve been through and all the drugs you’ve got in ya. And maybe being away from here will be just what you need; to get those numbers up even higher. Once we’re home, you’ll be totally relaxed and not worrying about anyone wandering in.”

“But…”

“But, we deal with it when it happens. IF it happens. Like I told you and SHOWN you, there’s more than one way to skin a cat.”

“.If you even dare bring out sex toys or even think about putting Viagra in my coffee…”

“I’m not going to put it in your coffee. I’m going to put it in your scrambled eggs.”

“Joke’s on you. I only eat fried.”

“I will be patient and understanding and let the problem…the ISSUE…work itself out. It isn’t permanent, Tyler. All the doctors have told you that. It’s just how you're responding to everything. You were clinically dead nine months ago; your body is still healing, and some things are misfiring along the way. And you’ve got enough meds in you to knock out a horse, so…” She presses a kiss to the underside of his chin. “Are you nervous?”

“About my dick not working properly for the rest of my life? Yes.”

“I mean about us. Building a life together. Does that spook you, too?”

“Not for the reason you think. You think it’s something to do with you.”

“It’s crossed my mind; that maybe you’re having second thoughts. About me. As a person.”

“I’ve never had any second thoughts when it comes to you. It’s all me. And my issues. The last time I lived with someone, it didn’t end very well. And I was the main reason.”

“Things hadn’t been good for a while,” she reminds him. “Long before your son got sick. And both you AND her were to blame for that.”

“She deserved a lot better than what I gave her. I had no business getting married. Not when I was totally committed to the military. She was always second. And she always would be. If we’d stayed together.” . “Do you wish you had? Stayed together?”

“No. It happened for a reason. All of it. Had our marriage been healthier and had my boy not gotten sick, I never would have gotten into the job, and I never would have crossed paths with Nik. Which means I never would have met you. And I wouldn’t give that…YOU… up for anything. Or anyone.”

Tears well in her eyes. “And to think, legend says you’re a man of few words.”

“Guess the ones I DO say are worth it.”

“I’m nervous too. For the same reason you are. I don’t exactly have the best track record, either.”

“None of that was your fault. What happened with Mark. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“I should have left sooner. But I kept going back. I kept believing all his bullshit and all his promises. No matter how many times he hurt me. And where did I end up? Where did being a stupid little girl lead me?”

“To this fucked up circle we’re both caught up in. It led you to Nik. To me. I don’t think you did too bad.”

“I’ve definitely traded up, that’s for sure.”

“I’m not him, Esme. I know it’s easy for me to say and not so easy for you to believe. But I’m not. I never will be. We’re gonna be alright.” The pads of his thumbs skim along the tops of her cheeks. “If we can get through the past nine months, we can get through anything. I’m sure of it.”

Turning her face up for another kiss, her hand tightly grips the back of his neck. It’s an addiction: the taste of his mouth, the smell of his skin, the press of his body against hers. No one has ever made her feel that way before; so overwhelmed by not only love and adoration but animalistic want and need. And she gives a mewl of disappointment when the moment comes to an abrupt end; interrupted by the sound of heels clicking along the tiles, followed by the clearing of a throat.

“Is that all the two of you do?” Yaz grumbles as he follows behind his sister, dutifully pushing an empty wheelchair. “I swear, every time we walk in here, you’re all over each other. Can’t you wait until you’re alone?”

“Can’t YOU knock?” Esme retorts, as she slips out from between Tyler and the bed and greets both her friends with warm, tight hugs and kisses on the cheek.

“He’s just jealous that no one kisses him like that,” Nik takes a cheap yet teasing shot at her younger brother. “Or even wants to.”

“There’s a lot of people that want to!” Yaz angrily informs her. “I just don’t want to kiss them! Have you ever thought of that? And how do you know what I do and don’t do? I could be doing a lot of things…a lot of PEOPLE…and….”

“And what? And nothing. Of course I know what you’re up to. We live together. Your room is across from mine. Not to mention the walls are thin. No one is buying what you’re trying to sell, lonely boy.”

Scowling, Yaz mumbles a string of profanities and insults in both Arabic and French and then purposefully steers the wheelchair over his sister’s foot.

“What’s up with your shirt?” Tyler lays the end of his cane against Yaz’s torso, eyeing the monstrosity with the utmost disgust. “Lose a bet or something?”

“You don’t like it?”

“No.”

“I’ll get you one. What’s your size? Forty-four regular?” Reaching out, Yaz playfully squeezes one of Tyler’s biceps. “You’re a little bit slimmer, no?”

“Shut up.”

“I missed you, too.”

“Valentino?” Esme fingers the item in question, giving a nod of appreciation and a low, impressed whistle as she studies the sea of colours and the unique pattern. “Get him one. He won’t wear it, but I will.”

Tyler frowns, his nose wrinkled in disgust. “Not if we’re out in public together, you won’t.”

Scoffing, she picks up a discarded sling and slaps him in the stomach with it. “Like you actually have a say in it.”

“Your life is no longer your own,” Nik informs him, as she helps him into the sling, ignoring the mumbles of protest and the profanities he spews in the process. “Your bachelor days are over. Now you have someone telling you what to do and when to do it.”

“Which is exactly what he needs,” Yaz adds. “It’ll do him some good. Have someone around to keep him on his toes. Hold him accountable for his bullshit.”

“You realize I can hear you, yeah?”

“You’re going to have someone cooking and cleaning for you and…”

“Hey!” Esme objects. “I never said anything about cooking and cleaning. I’m useful in many ways. But those are NOT two of them.”

“She’s already told me she can’t cook for shit. Apparently, she kept sweaters in her stove. When she lived in Prague.”

“The closets weren’t big enough,” she explains. “And I CAN cook. I’m just not any good at it”

“It’s going to be the blind leading the blind,” Nik chides. “This should end well. Who kills who first is what I’m wondering.”

“He’ll drive me to the brink of a mental breakdown before either of us has a chance to resort to homicide,” Esme informs her, and playfully pinches Tyler’s side. “He’s been testing the limits of my patience since he woke up this morning.”

“I warned you. As soon as you started talking about this whole living together thing. I told you he was difficult. That you had no idea what you were getting yourself into.”

“He’s just anxious to get out of here,” Yaz reasons. “I mean, do you blame him? Not everyone gets to take their favourite nurse home with them. I heard you give really good sponge baths. With a little something extra thrown in. A happy ending. VERY happy one, actually.”

“Jesus….” Nik shakes her head. “...Yaz…”

Tyler frowns. “You weren’t supposed to repeat that.”

“I’ll take it as a compliment,” Esme assures him, then nods at the wheelchair. “Sit.”

“Why?”

“This is your ticket to freedom!” Yaz manoeuvres the apparatus behind his old friend. “We’re breaking you lose!”

“I can walk.”

Esme sets the brakes on the chair. “You know that. And we know that. Even the doctors and nurses know that. But the hospital says this is how it has to be. So you either leave this way, or you stay here forever.”

“That’s stupid.”

“I don’t make the rules, babe. But unfortunately, I’m the bad guy that has to enforce them.”

“And you say I’ve been testing YOUR patience?”

“You’d miss me if I weren’t around, giving you a foot up the ass every now and then.”

Wrapping both arms around one of his, she keeps a firm hold as he slowly lowers himself into the waiting chair. And while her much smaller and lighter frame would offer no real assistance if he were to slip or lose his balance, it still gives him a sense of security. Further proof that she is indeed his ‘safe place’; the one person that he feels most comfortable with and isn’t afraid to be vulnerable and needy in front of. Far stronger and mightier than he ever could have anticipated when they’d first met. A tiny and seemingly weak woman who is anything BUT.

And a total pain in his ass at times.

“You’re looking good,” Yaz praises, as he collects the duffle bag and a lone suitcase. “You clean up nice. I’m kind of disappointed, though; I thought for sure you’d do something different with the hair.”

“She wouldn’t let me. I was going to tell the barber to just shave it all off so I could start over again, but…”

“I would have had to kill both of them,” Esme finishes, and combs her fingers through his longer top tresses. “It suits you. It’s the perfect haircut. My absolute favourite.”

“You haven’t seen my hair any other way. So how do you know this is your favourite?”

“Well, I’ve already had the best, right? So why settle for anything else.”

“You’re difficult. You know that, yeah?”

“Mmmhmm.” Moving to stand behind the wheelchair, she tugs affectionately at his ears, then leans down to press a kiss to his temple. “You ready?”

Nodding, he turns his face into hers, lips meeting the corner of her mouth. “As I’ll ever be.”

*****

The cabin is nestled in an isolated valley miles above sea level. Miles away from neighbours and the tiny ‘downtown’ area, it’s nothing but a mere speck of wood, brick, and cedar shingles swallowed by a sea, spruce, and fir trees. Its front door mere steps from one of the many lakes in the region; the crystal clear waters now snow-covered, their abundance of fish gathered somewhere under feet of thick, smooth ice. Across the expanse of land lays the base of the Grunberg mountain range; more feral and isolated than its many counterparts in the Gmunden region, but still a ‘must see’ for both tourists and those who enjoy its more difficult -and sometimes perilous- hiking trails. Yet despite all the beauty -in its most raw and pure forms- he’s not been able to notice anything outside the rental car; instead, he's too caught up in watching and listening to Esme as she sits behind him. A woman who was born and raised in Colorado and whose family home sits less than five hundred metres from the base of the Rockies, she’s like a kid on Christmas morning. With each turn the tires make on their climb, her reactions grow in glee and intensity: the sighs of enjoyment, the gasps of awe, and the way she clasps her hands together and bounces up and down in her seat.

It's that experience that he finds himself enthralled by, emotion choking at him as tears prick at his eyes. After being so fearless and strong over the course of the past nine months, she suddenly exudes an almost childlike innocence. So completely caught up in the moment that everything else around her has ceased to exist; she has found a slice of heaven, and she isn't missing a single second. This tiny and fierce woman who has been through so much heartache and brutality in her life yet refuses to lose an ounce of her spirit. Somehow still able to see and appreciate all of the beauty around her and experience things with such passion and wide-eyed wonder. And he's never seen anything more beautiful.

He’s out of the car and at her door before she even has the chance to open it. It’s all about the smallest of gestures right now; having to partake in less strenuous moments and activities in order not to inflict more wear and tears on his still-healing body. His strength and stamina are still not where he had hoped they would be; still teetering on the edge of sixty percent and increasing at an extremely slow pace. But she appreciates even the smallest of gestures and the effort behind them; her tiny hand fitting so perfectly into his much larger, more powerful one as she allows him to help her out of the vehicle.

“Look at it!” She gushes, as her fingers push through his, and tucks herself into him. Their joined hands resting against her stomach as they take in their surroundings; the pristine white of the snow and the lush green of the trees, and the slivers of sun that attempt to sneak through thick, gray clouds. The air so fresh and crisp it burns their lungs; a welcome and refreshing pain after months of breathing in stale, hospital air and the combination of antiseptic, sickness, and cleaning solution.

And death. Lots of death.

Esme gives an excited bounce on her heels, then tilts her head back and beams up at him. “Isn’t it beautiful? Isn’t it PERFECT?!”

“Even better than the pictures. So what is this, Nik? A rental? Lease to own? It can’t be one of yours. This is slumming to you.”

“Consider it a gift. From Yaz and I. It’s the least we could do. Considering…” Her voice trails off; the wounds caused by Mahajan’s betrayal still raw and fresh. The failure to receive full payment pales in comparison to the real damage done; the heavy burden of both physical and mental trauma that the main players will carry with them for weeks and months. Maybe years.

Perhaps even forever.

“Did you bring my chickens?” He inquires, as they follow Nik and Yaz to the cabin; Esme offering what little support she can as she snakes an arm around his waist and places her free hand on his stomach. The queen of the ‘simple gesture’; desperately wanting and needing to help and someone finding even the tiniest and most mundane of ways to do it. And it feeds directly into her love language; an almost overwhelming desire to touch and BE touched. Starved of real love and genuine affection for so long that seeking it out has become a near obsession. And although he’s been touch starved for just as long and is still trying to adjust to her level of neediness, it’s an obsession that he’s more than willing to nurture.

Reaching into her jacket pocket, Nik fishes out the keys to the front door. “We ate them.”

“What about my dog?”

Yaz sets the suitcase on the porch and drops the duffle bag into one of the empty deck chairs. “We ate her too.”

“Jesus…” his sister grumbles. “...Yaz…”

“I’m kidding. She’s in the house.”

“So…” Tyler shifts his weight from one foot to the other, wincing at the pain that settles deep in the right knee. “... what are we supposed to do now?”

Esme shrugs. “Anything we want, I guess.”

“I mean, you could go on hikes. Learn to knit. Try to reach mindfulness,” Yaz suggests, then gives a small shrug. “You’re going to like it here. Alright, brother…” Lightly punching Tyler in the left shoulder, he turns to head for the car. “...I’ll send you that shirt!”

“Hold up!” Esme calls out, then gives Tyler’s side a squeeze before hurrying after her friend. “I forgot something!”

He watches her as she goes. The way those tiny feet shuffle through the snow and over the ice that lies below. The bottom of her ponytail, the ‘strings’ that dangle from the sides of her colourful wool beanie, and the pom-pom on top swaying and bouncing with every single step. And for a brief moment, panic and uneasiness set in; the irrational fear that she’s going to simply climb in the car and take off. Leaving him all alone in the middle of nowhere.

Even more tarnished and broken than when she’d found him. And he’s only moments away from chasing after her when Nik captures his attention, jamming the corner of a small cardboard box into his stomach.

“What’s this?”

“We packed up your house. That’s all we found. Your entire life fits inside one little box. Maybe it’s time to change that.”

“I’ve already started.” He glances toward Esme and Yaz as they linger by the rental. The latter teasing the former about her flushed cheeks and nose, Esme playfully scowling and pouting in response. Catching her friend off guard when she affectionately ruffles his hair and then scoops up handfuls of snow and shoves them down the front of both Yaz’ jacket and sweater. As the younger man squeals and squirms and attempts to flee, her infamous giggle floats in the air and causes a smile to tug at the corners of Tyler’s mouth. The noise high-pitched and childish, yet somehow the most amazing goddamn thing he’s ever heard. “Get back to me in a couple of months. I bet there won’t be enough boxes in the world.”

“Be good to her. Treat her right. She deserves that. Especially after she’s been through.”

“She does deserve it. I’m not going to fuck this up, Nik. I refuse to.”

“Good. Because she has put everything she is and everything she has into you. She’s trusting you with her whole heart. And if you hurt her…”

“Not gonna happen.”

“And be gentle with her. As strong as she’s been, there’s a traumatized and scared little girl in there who needs to feel safe. Protected. And most importantly, she needs to feel loved.”

“Is there where you threaten to break every bone in my body if I do her wrong?”

“No. It’s where I threaten to break your face.”

Smirking, he watches as Nik makes her way toward the car; Esme and Yaz already exchanging a final hug and kisses on the cheeks. “When will we see you again?”

Her eyes and smile are softer than usual, possessing a level of finality that hits hard and extremely deep. “When we all have something to celebrate.”

“You’re going to love it here!” Yaz reassures him. “Enjoy your retirement!”

That word again. Retirement. Something that seems so foreign to him. He’d spent decades relying on his brawn, strength, and the skills he’d developed both in the military and then on the job. And now here he is, about to embark on an entirely different path; his body bruised and broken and completely unreliable.

The snow crunches under the soles of Esme’s boots as she scurries over; leaning her back against his front as they watch their friends depart. A now mittened hand waving the entire time; until the car reaches the end of the drive, makes a sharp left, and disappears from sight.

Tyler sighs.

She tilts her head back and peers up at him, concern beginning to diminish the sparkle in her eyes. “You okay?”

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

“It’s a big step. This is all really happening. You. Me. Us. It’s okay to admit you’re spooked.”

“Are YOU?”

“A little. What if you find out you don’t like me very much?”

“Not gonna happen.”

“I mean, it’s possible, you know. To love someone but not LIKE them.”

“Not gonna happen,” he sternly repeats, then leans down to peck the tip of her nose.

“Nik said she picked up some food. Enough to get us through a few days at least. That way we don’t have to rush; we don’t have to run into town right away and grab things. Are you hungry?”

“I could eat.”

“Let’s go and see what she picked out. And get a fire started. Did I forget to mention that it’s heated by a fireplace? I think I forgot to mention that.”

“Yeah, you did.”

“Let’s go. Before the cold really starts to set in. It can’t be making your knee and your shoulder feel very good. So let’s….”

He stops her when she attempts to step away. Capturing a tiny, mittened hand in one of his and drawing her tightly against him; his back and surgically repaired knee cracking when he leans down to kiss her. And when he pulls away, he takes a moment to take it all in; the redness to her cheeks, the freckles that grace the bridge of her nose, and the errant snowflakes that nestle in her lashes.

“You’re beautiful.”

Her smile returns. The one that causes her eyes to sparkle and dance. That he’d fallen in love with almost nine months ago. He’d never admit it, of course, the things that he’d been feeling and experiencing from day one. Not out of embarrassment or shame, but because he doesn’t quite understand it himself. How you can be so head over in heels, so damn fast.

“Come on,” she says, still holding his hand as she steps away. “Let’s go home.”

The Winter Badminton craze of Bangladesh

I was coming home from school on October 30th, 2023, and saw some young boys in our neighborhood with their rackets and corks. And, it struck me how much Badminton is imbued with our culture. Roads, backyards, even the alleyway behind your grandma's home - they all morph into makeshift courts. From young kids' failed attempts to your uncle's surprisingly fast backhands, badminton fever grips the entire country.

Bangladeshis' love for low-equipment/no-equipment sports dates back centuries. The only two requirements are rackets and a shuttle/cork (shuttlecock), and an occasional rock or stick to draw the boundary on the concrete. Thus, it is easily accessible even in the rural areas of our country.

So, under moonlight or sodium-lit bulbs, in every para, moholla, mofussil, you'll see a restless badminton game.

The winter season in Bangladesh also ensures 'Dokhina Hawa' (wind coming from the north) for the shuttlecock's easy locomotion. As the summer season chills out, replaced by cool, dry air that begs for some physical fun, badminton is the last resort.

Winter also coincides with the school holidays, creating the perfect opportunity for young players to pass their time. The courts become a melting pot of talent, from seasoned players showcasing their finesse to beginners discovering the joy of the game.

The sidewalk of main roads or rooftops - local tournaments pop up everywhere, drawing in cheering crowds who support their neighbors as if they are national badminton heroes. It's a celebration of community.

Challenges also exist predominantly. Open spaces are shrinking in Bangladesh because of overpopulation and an increase in infrastructure. Well, add that one to our never-ending list of environmental decay. We'll find ways to keep the badminton spirit alive, whether it's on equipment-heavy turfs of Dhaka or by using bamboo poles and fishing nets in a village field.

Brighten Your Smile: Top Tips for Optimal Dental Health

A bright smile is not just about aesthetics; it's also a reflection of good health. Maintaining optimal dental health is essential for preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Here are some top tips to help you achieve and maintain a healthy smile.

1. Brush Your Teeth Twice a Day

Brushing is fundamental to dental hygiene.

Use fluoride toothpaste: Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay.

Brush for two minutes: Ensure you spend enough time brushing to clean all surfaces of your teeth.

Use proper technique: Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gums and use gentle circular motions.

Check This page: Prof. Dr. Nasir Uddin

2. Floss Daily

Flossing removes plaque and food particles from between teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach.

Choose the right floss: Use waxed or unwaxed dental floss, or consider floss picks for convenience.

Be gentle: Avoid snapping the floss against your gums; gently slide it between your teeth.

3. Limit Sugary Foods and Drinks

Sugar is a major contributor to tooth decay.

Opt for healthier snacks: Choose fruits, vegetables, and nuts instead of sugary treats.

Drink water: Water is the best choice for hydration and helps rinse away food particles.

4. Regular Dental Check-ups

Regular visits to the dentist are key for maintaining dental health.

Schedule twice-yearly visits: Routine cleanings and check-ups can help detect issues early.

Discuss concerns: Share any dental problems or changes you’ve noticed with your dentist.

5. Practice Good Nutrition

A balanced diet supports overall oral health.

Consume calcium-rich foods: Dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified plant-based milks strengthen teeth and bones.

Include crunchy fruits and veggies: Apples and carrots can help scrub teeth naturally and promote saliva production.

6. Stay Hydrated

Hydration plays a vital role in oral health.

Drink plenty of water: It helps wash away food particles and keeps your mouth moist.

Choose fluoridated water: If possible, drink tap water that contains fluoride for added dental protection.

7. Avoid Tobacco Products

Tobacco use can lead to serious dental issues.

Quit smoking or chewing tobacco: This can reduce the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and oral cancer.

Seek support: If you need help quitting, talk to your healthcare provider about resources.

8. Limit Staining Foods and Beverages

Certain foods and drinks can stain your teeth over time.

Moderate coffee, tea, and red wine: If you consume these, rinse your mouth with water afterward.

Consume stain-fighting foods: Crunchy fruits and vegetables can help remove surface stains.

9. Use Mouthwash Wisely

Mouthwash can be a helpful addition to your oral hygiene routine.

Choose a fluoride mouthwash: This can provide extra protection against decay.

Avoid alcohol-based rinses: These can dry out your mouth, leading to other dental issues.

10. Wear a Mouthguard When Needed

If you play contact sports or grind your teeth, consider wearing a mouthguard.

Get a custom fit: Talk to your dentist about getting a mouthguard that fits comfortably and provides adequate protection.

Protect against injuries: Mouthguards can prevent tooth fractures and injuries to the jaw and gums.

Conclusion

Optimal dental health is crucial for a bright smile and overall well-being. By following these tips and maintaining a proactive approach to your oral care, you can enjoy a healthy, radiant smile for years to come. Remember, taking care of your teeth today leads to a brighter, healthier future!
