CHAPTER 11- Meant to be

"You are still alive," Andrea said looking into his warm brown eyes.

"Yeah somehow. Is Amy okay?" Daniel asked concerned.

"Of course. She is here too. I have missed you so much," Andrea says still completely shocked he is alive.

How would Philip react once he knew that her boyfriend is in Woodbury? Would he be made to leave once he recovered? Would it be possible for her to leave with Daniel? Would Amy go? Or would she prefer to stay here with Philip? Once Philip found out would she even be allowed to see Daniel? All she knew is that she still loves Daniel. And doesn't want to leave his side.

"I have missed you too Andrea. Every minute we were apart," he says putting his hands into hers. He is clearly still weak but manages to lean in kissing her. His lips linger on hers. She gets lost in his kiss and for a moment feels like she is home again. Nothing has changed.

"I love you Daniel. Always have, always will," she whispers in a soft voice when their lips part.

"Love you," he says with a small smile. She is so happy that it takes a minute to realize Philip is there. Did he see the kiss or hear her declaration of love? Somehow she knows he did. He had been watching this whole time.

"Andrea, I am here to take you home. We have a lot to get ready," Philip said coldly.

"I am taking care of this patient," Andrea objects.

She looks up at Philip, slightly torn. If she leaves now…would she see Daniel again?

"Dr. Stevens will finish it up. You were supposed to be home an hour ago. Let's go," Philip said.

She wants to stay there with Daniel, but knows she can't.

"I am sorry," she whispered to Daniel so low that he probably did not hear it before falling back to sleep. She wants nothing more than to wrap her arms around Daniel, but instead walks toward Philip.

He puts his arm tightly around Andrea forcing her out the door,. She somehow makes herself go with him, holding the tears inside her eyes. She knew somehow she would have to see Daniel again. She promised herself that she would.

Him being in Woodbury had to mean something. They were obviously meant to be.
