Listening to some of my favourite 70s rock and thinking about Creelby and music.
It'd be so special to them. Thinking about them in me and husband's Escape AU discovering new music and rediscovering artists together... Patty introducing Henry to some of her favourite Louis Armstrong tracks .... Them finding songs that make them think of their past..
They try dancing to some of the music they listen to and it's clumsy and silly at first because neither of them really knows how to dance. They never had the time. But then after a bit they figure out how to move and it gets less silly and more heavy with emotion because they never got to be a normal couple dancing at a party.
Suddenly they're both fourteen again moving along with their peers to an old record and this time there's not going to be anyone to kick them out of this place, they're not going to be yelled at for enjoying each others' company.
And Henry tries to spin Patty around and the first attempt ends with her arms around him because her balance was off, and then the second try works out better and she's smiling at him in that calm and emotional way that is so deep in meaning because they're not free yet and they're still being chased, but this moment is theirs alone and it's just them together.
She intertwines their hands even if the dance doesn't call for it, just because it feels right, because she wants to hold his hand. And neither of them have to say anything because they understand each other beyond words. Because the fact that they love each other is now engraved in the slow ballad playing on the record player in the run down cabin they're in, and the trust they share and always have is laced in their movements and even if it all comes crashing down a day or a week or a month later, there's nothing they can't get through.
Neither of them keeps up with the song changing and how many pass by and eventually they're not dancing anymore but just standing together enjoying the peace of each other's presence.
I think about them hearing the same song on the radio in a mall while they're out getting food or some other things they need and they don't need to talk to know what they're both thinking and it'll always be a song that will make them look towards each other even if they're across the room from each other.
Thank you for coming to my nonsensical rambling.
