The last couple weeks had been...relaxing.
Living in a luxury hotel had it's benefits. Room service every day, access to the gym and sauna, premium cable. And Miriam didn't even have to spend it alone.
Will's upbeat demeanor and positive attitude could be grating at times, but there were far worse people to spend some time with. Someone to take clubbing at night, to go out and run errands during the day. A room to sleep in and be protected from the elements. Someone to talk to and bounce ideas off of; Miriam would even find Will had some surprising depths, having more experience than your average person.
And, when that positive attitude got too much to handle, it was easy enough to send her out for a task. Or just, you know, shut her up for an hour or two.
The one...catch, as it were, was Will's ongoing belief that Xaviers was working on a solution for her condition. This meant, with all the best will in the world, she kept reminding Miriam to keep her head up, that everyone back home was rooting for her, that things would be alright and back to normal if she just held on a little longer.
This was not a topic of conversation Miriam was particularly fond of, and as the days went by, it seemed to come up more and more often. Even more worrisome, Will occasionally tried to contact the outside world, which required some quick work by Miriam to nip that in the bud. In fact, was that her going for the phone? Again? That was the third time today...
