Elle snuggled happily into Kay's arms, resting her head on his chest and smiling up at him after their lovemaking was finished. This was the happiest that she could remember being in her life. She glaced down at her hand and the gold band that had joined the heart shaped diamond ring on her finger. She wondered where in the world Kay had got them.
"They were my mother's," Kay whispered as if he could read her thoughts. "We used to come up to this cabin every summer when I was a kid. I was thirteen when my mom died. My dad couldn't stand to see her rings after that so he hid them in this space under one of the floorboards. He thought that I might want them some day but I forgot all about them until I came here again."
Elle smiled softly at what Kay told her. "What was your mother like?" she asked him.
"Beautiful. Perfect," he murmured as he held Elle close. He hadn't thought about his mother in years but his memories of her were still as fresh as if she had only been gone a few hours. "She was the most warm and loving person that I knew. The best. You know how most kids are ashamed of their parents when they get to be a certain age, don't want to be seen with them? I was never embarrassed to be with her. She had the most beautiful eyes, a soft green, and they were always so full of love. When she died it was like the world collapsed. I don't think that my dad ever got over loosing her. He just wasn't the same afterwards. I know that I didn't think I would get over it for a long time either. I just wish they could know about this, about you. My mother would have loved you."
"I'm sure she knows somehow," Elle whispered as she kissed him. "Love never dies. It just keeps on going and spreading." "She would have definitely loved you," Kay murmured as he returned her kiss, his hands running along her back exploring her body. She moved closer in response to his touch, running her fingers through his hair as they begin to slowly make love again.
