Alicia couldn't help but laugh. "When I talked to Edwin at the hospital, I was just angry, Louis. Don't let it get to you."
Louis' lips pressed together. He wasn't upset about what she said to Edwin. What really scared him was if she found out that her Chuck Hanson was actually Chuck Noland. That was the real worry.
Alicia had dreamed about Chuck, and he was always watching her, like a hawk ready to swoop down, never missing a chance. Sometimes, Louis felt like he was just in the way. He thought about stepping aside for their happiness, but he just couldn't. It hurt too much. It might have only been three years of love, but that was long enough for two people to become deeply connected. If he couldn't step back, he had to tough it out.
Compared to Chuck, Louis felt lucky. Having Alicia by his side made toughing it out worth it.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
