Lindsay was completely silent for a moment, her face blank, and then she broke out into hysterical laughter, "Oh my god," she repeated as she fell back onto the bed.

"You told me you wouldn't laugh."

Lindsay's laughter dissolved into giggles, "I know, but…I didn't think you were going to tell me that."

"You asked."

"I know," she said, breathing deeply as she tried to control her laughter, "I know, I'm sorry. I'm glad you told me, that you trusted me."

"Yes, I feel very secure telling you my deepest fears and making you laugh like a hyena."

"I'm sorry," she said again, leaning in to kiss him softly, "Can I make it up to you?"

His face softened, "Maybe, how were you thinking of doing that?"

"Well," she climbed into his lap and kissed him again, "I was thinking we could turn out the lights and maybe cuddle….naked."

"That would definitely make it up."

She smiled again and reached over to turn out the lights. He was reaching for her shirt when she spoke again, "Oh wait, maybe I should turn the lights back on….you might get frightened."

"Damn it, Lindsay…I should never have told you I was scared of the dark."
