It was the last day Sue was spending at Jack's place. She had everything packed and was going to pick up her parents in the morning. Jack's parents were arriving later in the afternoon. Jack was sad all day. He didn't want Sue to leave, he got used to her falling asleep in his arms each night and waking up with her each morning. Although it was difficult to keep their hands off each other. They had managed to do it with a lot of willpower and cold showers.

Later in the afternoon they took a long walk in the park. They held hands walking in silence, stopping to kiss every once in awhile. When they got back to Jack's place, Sue made dinner. She made meatloaf, vegetables and mashed potatoes. Jack complimented her on the wonderful meal and cleaned up when they finished eating.

Afterwards they sat together on the couch and watched a movie. Jack sat back against the couch and Sue sat next to him, snuggled up against his side. After the movie, Sue began to yawn. "I better get going, before I fall asleep."

"You can sleep here tonight, your not picking up your parents until tomorrow morning." Jack reasoned, not wanting to let her go just yet.

Sue gave him a sideways glance. "I can't Jack, I already packed my stuff. Anyways, they will be suspicious when I come home with my own bag and start unpacking myself. No, it's best I go tonight."

"Alright," Jack sighed. His hand reached out to caress her cheek before his mouth descended on hers. He kissed her passionately, before letting her go.

Jack drove Sue to her apartment. They stood outside her door, his hands resting on her shoulders. "I'll see you tomorrow." He said.

Sue nodded. "I love you Jack."

"I love you too sweetheart." He smiled and placed a soft kiss on her lips.

When Jack got back to his apartment, he let out a deep sigh. It looked so empty now that Sue was gone. He missed her already. He decided to get ready for bed, even though he wasn't looking forward to sleeping alone.

After getting into his pyjama bottoms and a t-shirt. He lifted the blankets off and noticed a white envelope on his pillow. What's this, he thought. The envelope had his name on it and he opened it.

My Darling Jack,

I know how you must be feeling, because I'm feeling the same way. I miss you already. Think of me tonight when you fall asleep and I will be thinking of you. I will miss your arms around me, the vibrations of your heart beating under my cheek. The soft morning kisses you give me. It won't be long until we can share this again and so much more. I look forward to becoming your wife.

You are the most amazing man that I have ever met and I am so proud and thankful that you are mine. I thank God each day for having brought you into my life.

I've told you that I love you, but I haven't told you what's in my heart. You have always believed in me Jack. You give me courage and strength. You make me feel like I can do anything. You've never made me feel any less than who I am because I'm deaf. I loved that you learned and are still learning ASL. I love everything about you. You are loving, kind, caring, handsome and such a beautiful man inside and out. I love you Jack, forever.

Yours Always,

Sue

Jack's eyes had misted over while reading the letter. She knew exactly what he needed tonight. He felt so close to her at this moment. He placed the letter on his night table, before he slipped under the covers. He could still smell her scent on the sheets. It didn't take him long to fall asleep and begin dreaming of Sue.
