'I love you'
Those three simply complicated words were once all I craved to hear fall from her lips. Helen Magnus was all I wanted, she was all I needed. It was the way her face would all of a sudden lighten the room with understanding, it was the way that when all she wanted to do was cry, a single tear would slip from her beautiful eyes and slide undisturbed down her cheek.
I remember the first time I proclaimed my love for her; it was raining outside the walls of Oxford and the five of us were inside the library. Within a far corner Helen and I were huddled; debating the ethics of abnormal works. I'm still not sure what she had said all those years ago but I know it must of been something great, after all she is a genius. However, all I could focus was her lips and how beautiful everything sounded when they opened. Without warning or preconceived thought those three simply complicated words escaped from heart into the open wilderness. Helen reaction was so completely unprecedented or predicted. Before I could even apologise for interrupting; she had leaned over and brought our lips together. From that exact moment in time I knew that I would love, hold and cherish Helen Magnus for all eternity.
a/n: Missery Loves Sarah this is for you ... I had a longer happier one but it was unfairly thrown into the bin by an innoncent friend. Hope this happy enough for you - it was different to write :D
