A few weeks later and I'm no closer to finding a cure for Harry than before. I'm testing everything I can think of as a reacting agent to stabilize and begin to help him heal.

Sighing in frustration I pushed away from my chair and went to get some coffee from the craft on the nearby counter. Waiting for it to cool was going to slow so I picked it up and began sipping on it as much as I could stand. The scalding coffee burned my mouth, but I needed the caffeine. I was exhausted.

I set down the mug and went to examine the machine and see what the results of my latest test yielded. As I peered into the microscope I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and a chin rested on my shoulder and I jumped in surprise.

"Harry!' Felicia squealed, jumping in surprise. Laughing I released her enough to turn around to face me and she playfully smacked my chest. "You scared me." Laughing some more I pulled her in for a kiss.

Letting go I gazed into her bright eyes full of love. I wished I could just be here forever, but I know she's getting frustrated. I mean my they never found a cure for my dad.

I see the helpless look in his eyes, he feels terrible for how much energy I put into this.

"Harry," I cup his face gently in my hands, "I'm not giving up on you. I'm not giving up on this. I'm going to work as hard as I can so I can help you. I'm not stopping until I do. I love you." Stroking his cheeks with my thumbs I leaned back in and kissed him lightly on the lips. "I'm not giving up Harry." I repeat seeing the look in his eyes that says he's already given up.

I can't believe how amazing she is, that she doesn't want to give up on me when I'm a lost cause. I'm about to tell her that she doesn't have to bother, but with the fierce look in her eyes I can't bring myself to.

We stand there for a few minutes just holding each other before my hands start shaking again. I sigh, hoping that if she does manage to do it, to find a cure, that it'd be soon.

"I love you Felicia Hardy."
