It's early, I know.

10) The Bare Morning

I woke up the next morning, with George's arms around me and my head on his chest. He was still very asleep. I could feel him breathing, slow and steadily, and his heart beating. I looked up at his face. His head was on the pillow and his mouth was slightly parted. I smiled and kissed his nose. He partly opened one of his eyes.

"Good morning." I said to him.

"You woke me up." He told me.

"I'm sorry, but you had to wake up sometime. And we are leaving today." I said.

"Then I'll sleep on the plane." He said, then sat up.

He pulled me up with him.

"George what will happen if Davis doesn't let me see you anymore?" I asked him.

"I'll marry you." He answered.

"Marry me?" I asked him, not expecting that as an answer.

"Yep. I've known you sort of a while, and I know what you want in life, and I am able to give you anything your heart desires. So, instead of you never seing me again, you can always see me." He explained.

I kind of wish I could marry him anyway.

"Alright. If Davis says you can't see me anymore, then I'll marry you." I said.

"Good." He said.
