Footprints in the Sand---Skye attn Nate/any

Skye leaned her head back against Nate's shoulder as he went on about Brian. Just thinking about the man and the memory of his brutal assault was enough to make her hands shake and her stomach tighten. She swore internally as both began to happen, knowing that a full blown panic attack was in her near future. "Can..we please..try to talk about something else..anything else please?" She asked, reaching a hand into her bag to pull out a small bottle with her name and Tofranil listed on it. Trying not to let Nate see, Skye took a sip of her smoothie, washing the pill back with it. it was a smooth, fluid move that had obviously been done before.

She had issues, she knew this. Skye was just really scared that Nate would decide that he didn't want to deal with her and said issues and would break up with her. God she was a mess.

His words brought her back to reality and she gave a small smile. "No kidnapping, if I don't go home, I need to check in with them at least...I do not want to get in any sort of trouble you know. Mark and Cindy are really nice, but with foster parents..you never know if they are just gonna ship you back to SS." Skye found his hands and pulled his arms tighter around her. "Just remember to tell them who you are or you get to worry again ok?" She asked, lacing her fingers through his tightly to help stop the shaking in her hands.

Skye held up her half empty smoothie cup. "This is my lunch..and breakfast too I think." She frowned slightly then shrugged. "I'm always impressed with the way you eat..it amazes me."

[Nate Kane]

Nate forgot at times just how upsetting the topic of he who shall remain nameless could be. So Nate shut it the moment she asked. Last thing he needed was for her to end up in a panic attack. Nate was not good at handling stuff like that. Crying women, and panic attacks, were not Nate's specialty. He could cheer you up if you were depressed. But begin to panic or turn on the water works and Nate panicked himself.

"Well that was understood. I don't want to be arrested for kidnapping my own girlfriend. Call them as much as you need to and i promise to start identifying myself." He told her with a smile. Nate knew he could not think before he acted...a lot, but sometimes it was so hard. Why do you think he slacked of in school so much.

"Thats not a very good breakfast and lunch. You need to eat something. Can't have you getting skinnier." Nate said looking at her as he held her tightly. "Food loves me...it loves to get eatten by me, but being a jock helps keep the weight off. So I won't get a beer belly any time soon. Maybe when I am older." Nate said laughing. "Can you marry someone with a big ole beer belly." Nate said giving Skye a look that said he was kidding. Although he found nothing wrong with overweight people. In his mind it just meant they were not a vain as some of the other women he knew could be.
