trust me.

Audrey smiled as Benjamin moved around the back of the vehicle, watching in the side mirror as he rolled up her wheelchair. She hated using it, she hated losing her independence but she knew that she needed it. At least for now, while her ankle was healing and until she could get back on her feet. She was just thankful that she had Benjamin at her side to help her every step of the way. A part of her felt awful because she didn't remember anything about him or their relationship but he was just being so understanding and kind that she couldn't help but be thankful. Especially since Ben had been by her side every step of the way.

Pushing open the door, Audrey smiled as she forced herself out of the car. She balanced on one foot, thanking Ben quietly as he helped her into her wheelchair.

"You know, I think you really might be a prince," Audrey teased, smiling up at him. She set her hand on his for a moment, brushing her thumb over his hand on top of the wheelchair. "Being so patient with me this whole time," she murmured. She pressed a little kiss to the side of his hand. "What did I ever do to get you?"

Audrey turned back around in her seat, watching as Ben rolled her toward the front door of the mansion that Ben had told her all about. They had just moved into it a few months ago, planning on starting a family soon. They both enjoyed the idea of being able to raise their children away from society's constant pressure.

"I was the one that picked this place out, right?" Audrey asked as she glanced toward Ben. "Because there's no way you had this amazing taste," she teased softly.

@ castle.
A small chuckle escaped from Ben as he listened to Audrey. His head shook a little bit at her words but said nothing. He just enjoyed the teasing words that she provided for him and that small bit of affection. The love from her that he craved was enough for him to feel good in this day and age. Nothing to bother them. Now, all they needed was time to get close again, to build that spark that he knows is there.

"I chose you didn't I?" Bed retorted, a small teasing smile on his lips as he glanced down at Audrey for a moment before looking back up towards the doors. For a moment, he let go of her wheelchair and held the door open so that she could wheel herself in, then walked in after her. "Well, welcome home," Ben said as he looked around the massive entry hall of there home.

Closing his eyes, Ben breathed in deeply through his nose before slowly exhaling it through his mouth. Then, he looked towards Audrey, a small smile playing along his lips as he watched her. Just like how he'd watched her for all of those years.

"How do you feel? Are you tired? Hungry?" Ben asked, wanting to make sure that she was alright. He didn't want to push her into doing things, so he figured some relaxation would be good for her, for the both of them since the incident seemed to cause them both so much stress. After all, his wife was just attacked and lost her memory. That's bound to put a damper on anyone's relationship. Correct?

Audrey giggled at Ben's comment, nodding her head as she chewed on her bottom lip. She hated that she didn't remember anything, she hated that she didn't remember Ben or their life together. He had been nothing but absolutely amazing to her; he'd loved her and he had done everything she had asked for without a single complaint. Audrey had no idea how she had managed to get this lucky. She smiled up at Ben for a moment, turning her attention toward their home when Ben pulled open the door for her. Her eyes widened as her jaw went slack. Of everything she had thought she knew from the stories that Ben had told her... that certainly wasn't what she had been expecting.

"Wow," Audrey whispered as she wheeled herself into the house. She paused once she was a few feet inside so that Ben could easily follow her inside. She grinned as she twisted and turned, trying to see as much of the insides as she could.

She grinned a bit sheepishly as she looked up to Ben, nodding her head. "Both, honestly," Audrey answered in a soft voice. "Just a little snack would be awesome, I think," she said, eyeing the stairs as she turned back to them. "I probably know I don't want the answer to the question but... our bedroom is up there. Isn't it?" Audrey asked, a slight frown on her features. She was trying to be a bit more independent because Ben had already done so much for her. She didn't want to have to rely on him for everything.

"It'll probably take me a little while to get up there but I think I can do it," Audrey said, locking the wheels on her chair before she hopped up nto her legs. She only set her injured leg down to maintain balance. She glanced toward Ben, giving him an uneasy smile. "You have faith in me, mister?"
