He had wanted today to be special. And he knew it may be a little cliche to do this on Valentines, but sometimes it was also the best time to do it. He held his breath as he waited for her answer, his smile growing big as she said yes. Slipping the ring on her finger, he leaned closer to her, kissing her lightly.

If anything the reason Kayley hadn’t expected this was because of the fact that it was Valentines day. It was the most proposed to holiday besides Christmas from what she knew and Owen always seemed to like to do the unexpected more than the expected but that seemed to work in his favor this time because for him it was a surprise. At least that’s what she felt anyway. Her smile barely moved when he kissed her, grinning still as she pulled back just enough to look at the ring on her hand.

“I can’t believe this is actually happening-- how long have you had this?”

It would have been inappropriate of her to point out that one of the only reasons she stayed this late was because of him. Yes she did love the work and the raptors and that was a big part of why she worked so hard... but the late nights that lead to her and Owen getting some alone time... well that was just an added perk.

Even if it lead to her speaking her mind when she realized she probably shouldn't have. He surprised her though by admitting to having the same feelings. "Oh? You do?" She asked leaning towards him to follow his lips after he pulled back from the first kiss.

Rexie and/or Blue!?

( JW VERSE )

She wonders if the park has had complaints about not really being that handicapped accessible. Sure on main street and the bigger parts of the island it was no problem but here as she tried to push herself towards the main gate of where the Raptors where kept, where she could see Blue laying down in the spot that they told her she hadn’t left since they got Kayley out of there, she struggled a few times over rocks and uneven ground. Still not fully used to her new set of legs technically... wheels actually, but determined to try and do this on her own. 

When she had gotten through all of her surgeries and the doctors explained that they did all they could she decided that this was the best she was going to get for falling so stupidly into the cage. Paralyzed from the hips down. Permanently. Yes some PT might help and she could get stronger in her arms to be more independent but she would be in this chair the rest of her life... 

But that wasn’t going to stop her from continuing her life’s passion so once she knew she was stuck like this her next question to Owen when he came to visit her was how was everything back here. More specifically how was Blue because if it wasn’t for Blue she wouldn’t be hot wheels right now. She would have been the raptors version of a hot pocket instead. The news wasn’t satisfying though, hearing that she hadn’t moved or eaten or anything really since Kayley’s fall she was determined to get well enough to come back and see what was going on. Which was what lead her exactly here to this moment. Stopping just on the outside of the gate and saying. “Hey you, Blue. I thought I was the one who fell and couldn’t get up what are you doing girl?”

The music in the background was just the right amount of distraction of the fact that her and Owen were caught working alone together again that all she had to do was tap her pen on the desk along with whatever song was playing. A few times subconsiously humming along without thinking much of it as she tried to focus on her work and not on him.

Owen had been wonderfully kind and helpful through this whole transtion in her life. The accident, the damage, he was there for it all and when she was ready to come back to work in any way she could he was here for her for that too. Finding her office work that could be useful in the field since she really couldn't be out there with her chair. Sitting here with her for it even though she could only guess that he'd rather be outside. He seemed more like the outside type. He just... he made it very difficult for her not to fall in love with him bu she was trying.

And he just seemed to want to make that happen with each new action. Like this one.

She hadn't even meant it when she asked about dancing. That was something she wrote off as impossible after her official diagnosis. Hence why she hadn't even looked up when she said it, not until her chair was moved back and he was suddenly standing there. Asking her that question like it was no big deal. He asked. She nodded and that was it she was done for. "Owen-- you don't have too... I was just kidding-- I mean... wow."

He had to be strong to hold her up the way he was right now. Since she could only support herself by her arms wrapped around him now keeping her closer than any normal person might be if they were dancing. He moved and spun them too the music like it was no big deal and all she could do was flush red as she looked at him with a smile.

Leave it to her to finally get a feel for things around here and then a hurricane hits. She was the new girl on the block and felt like she had something to prove when she first came in to this job position but surprisingly, despite what everyone said after they realized that she had been assigned there, she found it quiet easy!

The raptors were sweet, and at least Barry and Owen had been very welcoming and accepting of her joining the team. She did what she was told, she stayed extra to help and really she was very happy for being assigned here. Almost as if it were meant to be. Almost as if meeting Owen had been meant to be.

Dear lord she was so glad she didn't accidentally blurt that out loud with him right behind her. She didn't talk to herself often but with someone else in the room sometimes she could just ramble to fill the silence and what a way to end her job if she said that aloud! Hurricane hits, she'd come back and find out she was transferred and then boom she'd get stuck in some kiddie portion of the park miserable and rejected.

That was where her thoughts were as she focused on her task at hand. Not really paying any actual attention to Owen behind her until she turned and realized he had come up to her. Surprised, and confused as she looked back to what she was doing to make sure she did it right or if he was coming over to correct her when he spoke and captured her attention once again. "Oh-- Oh!" Her words failed her as her eyes went from his to his lips and back again as her brain worked slowly to process what he said-- did he really say that or did she start over imagining things again--

Oh god no she wasn't imagining it. He really said it and he really did lean in next to kiss her like it didn't matter if she pushed him away or not. Like he had to kiss her at least once just in case and she almost fainted in surprise when he had. Was it dramatic to think this was like a dream come true? Responding as quickly as she could to kiss him back and lean into him. Waiting only a moment to pull back and open her eyes slowly as she looked up at him once more. "I was going to say.... to reply-- that I also kinda wanted you to kiss me too."
