Day 21

Danny walked through the noisy house he called home after a full afternoon of call outs. Alice had opted to stay behind and do the surgery appointments, she must have done though, he'd checked the animal hospital and found it empty, and everything done.

"Alice?" Danny called walking through the halls of his home. He opened the door to their room as he approached it. In doing so he hadn't noticed the woman in question sneaking up behind him. She smirked and quickly wrapped her arms around him.

"Boo!" she chuckled as felt him jump. He twisted round to face her, wrapping his arms around her lower back.

"Mmm, Mrs Trevanion..." He murmured leaning forward, catching her soft, moist lips with his own. Both people stood caught in their passionate embrace for a moment before pulling away. They paused for a moment, gazing into one another's eyes.

"I have a surprise for you." Alice whispered, grinning widely as she saw his face lighten with excitement. "Come with me." She said taking his hand and pulling him towards the animal hospital.

"Oh-err... she's dragging me off to be alone..." Danny teased as she rolled her eyes. Rosie winked at Alice who nodded back. Danny noticed the pairs communication as Rosie ran off grinning. "What are you up to?"

"What makes you think I'm up to anything?" Alice asked as they reached the hospital. She turned to Danny and laughed at his 'get real' look. "Come come" She ordered pulling him in, he raised his eyebrows at her but she was too busy bouncing with excitement to notice.

"A leopard?" Danny asked signalling to an animal that had come in that afternoon.

"No you stupid man!" Alice chuckled, "Close your eyes and hold your hands out... NO PEEKING!" She ran off to get his gift, the one she'd been working on for days... she turned round and saw his right eye open. "DANIEL" Alice warned, using his full name to threaten him further.

"Soz mum." He replied cheekily.

She placed the box in his hands and told him to open his eyes. He did so and frowned at the box. Alice rolled her eyes as he looked at her blankly.

"Open it." She hinted, clapping her hands together.

"Ah" he said with a smile as he fumbled with the box. He opened it and gasped as he saw the scrapbook Alice had made for him. On the front cover she'd stuck their favourite picture of them on their wedding day, surrounded by love hearts, their names. He beamed as he saw it. He opened it slowly and a few tears trickled down his cheeks as he flicked through. It was gorgeous!

"Alice." He croaked, the emotion clouded his normal voice. "It's... it's beautiful." He whispered as he walked forward and wrapped his arms around her. She smiled, pleased that her present had made him happy. He leant forward and kissed her, the kiss became passionate quickly as both showed their love for one another.

Eventually the pulled away. Alice wiped away the few tears that had trailed down his cheeks with her thumbs as she caressed his cheeks. He smiled at her, his eyes soft with admiration.

"I love you." Danny told her.

"I love you too." Alice replied with a enormous grin. They kissed a few times, they were completely content, caught up in their moment. This was their world, no one else's, just his and hers. He wrapped his arms around her once more. He never wanted to let her go, wanted her to know how much he loved her. She pulled him as close as she could – she needed him, more than anything in this world.

"Do you want to go up to our copy?" Danny whispered in her ear, their heads were still bowed close together.

Alice nodded, "Take a few bits to eat, a bottle?" She questioned.

"Come on then." Danny smiled as they walked up hand in hand to the house. They grabbed what they needed from the kitchen. As they were walking out, Evan walked into the kitchen.

"Hey, where you two going?" He asked signalling towards the bag they had.

"Copy." Alice replied.

"Have fun." Evan teased, emphasising the fun part of his sentence.

"We will." Danny told him with a wink. He turned to Alice. "My dear, your transport awaits!"

"The husband." Alice joked as he led the way, both shouted their goodbyes to Evan before rushing off.

When they arrived at the copy, both walked over to the spot they'd declared their love. Danny put their bag down, ignoring their idea for a romantic and exclusive picnic for the time being.

"From the first time I set eyes on you... the first time..." Danny murmured as he leant towards her. Both wrapped their arms around one another and began to kiss just as they had all that time ago. As they pulled away Danny held her hands. "You're my world Alice Trevanion."

"You're my universe, my moons, the stars and the sun." Alice replied kissing him once more. Both people smiled happily before sitting down on the ground. Alice leant into Danny as he poured them each a glass of wine and grabbed a few nibbles.

They continued their romantic time alone long into the late afternoon... the world was there's and there's alone and no one could destroy, disrupt or tear their world apart, for the bonds were made of pure and true love, and nothing could break that.
