Work Text:

Ellie…?

Shh.

Ellie…

Shush-a-shush, now. Sleep. Don’t mind me.

El—Ellie.

Sleep. You’ve got to be at the clinic in five hours.

Ellie.

I’m right here.

You can’t—

Shhh. There, there.

Oh, Ellie.

There you are. That’s nice, isn’t it.

Come here, Ellie.

Here?

Ah—!

Here, darling.

Come kiss me.

Mm. Aren’t you sweet.

You—you’re…oh, God.

Just Ellie.

Ellie—

That’s it. That’s it.

Say my name.

Beverly.

Say—say my name so I’ll remember it.

Beverly. Darling. Just look at you.

It’s dark, Ellie.

I know what you look like.

I want—

Please, Ellie.

I’ve got you.
