Lizzie

The crisis is finally over and she looks at him curiously. "Lizzie?" she asks.

He shifts and looks uncomfortable. "I was stressed and worried."

She stops him rambling by saying "I like it." She smiles softly as she says it. He returns the smile and as he turns his head to look at her properly she notices his bandage has become stained with blood. "Come on, I'll change it for you." She takes charge and sits him down in the locker room.

He watches her cut the new bandage and notes "Perhaps the rest of us should take first aid classes as well."

She laughs softly "It's not that hard to change it." She gently peels off the stained bandage and accidentally brushes against his jaw. He looks straight into her eyes at the contact and she starts to apply the new bandage, undaunted by his staring.

"There that wasn't so bad." she whispers as she finishes and she finds herself drawn back to his eyes. She too stares for a moment, then taking a chance she leans down and with her lips applies the gentlest of pressures to his. She stands back but he smiles and pulls her back towards him until they are kissing again. This kiss is soft and gentle as they revel in this new experience. After a moment he stops and the look of happiness on his face reassures her. "Why don't we get dinner and finish this someplace better?"

The smile already on her face widens as she replies "I'd like that."

He stands up and as they walk out of the lab he gently takes her hand in his.
