CHAPTER 8 "Hey Abby."
"Hello, John."
"Come on you know your supposed to call me Carter. You only call me John when your.."
"Mad at you?" Abby interrupts.
"Yeah, so are you?"
"What do you think?"
"Judging by the tone of your voice I'm guessing yes. But, I came up here to say I'm sorry. I had no right to rush you into moving in with me. You were right, we weren't even officially dating yet. We just had a major smooch fest ( I didn't mean to pressure you. I feel so bad, if I would have acted the way I did you wouldn't be in here. You'd be at the Corday/Greene residence and I'd be by your side. Comforting you in your hard time. Being your shoulder to cry on, but I screwed up and hurt you. This is all my fault. I'm so sorry Abby. Can you find it in your beautiful heart to forgive me? I really do care about you. I.I.I love you, so much. I just hope you feel the same."
"Carter, I've loved you for a long time. Of course I forgive you. This isn't all your fault anyway. I made the decision to drink way to much. I did Carter. Not you, it was me. I made a stupid, foolish adult decision that almost cost me my life. It almost cost me a passionate love affair..with you." Abby smiles. "True, I wouldn't have went out if you wouldn't have got angry, so it's partially your fault." Abby grins. "I'm kidding of course, I love you and I want to be with you. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I didn't have you in it. You've been there for me through everything. Through all the crap that has happened in my life. I saved you and you saved me. We're meant to be together. I'm ready for a relationship with you John Truman Carter. I'm ready to begin my life.our life.as us."
Carter leans towards Abby with a tear in his eye, "Me too Abby, I love you." Carter kisses Abby. Abby places her hand behind his head and pushes his face tightly towards hers. The two embrace in a long kiss. Then Carter pulls away. He stares at Abby for a second. Then he reaches in his pants pocket and pulls out a ring. Not an engagement ring of course, just a simple gold band.
"This is for you," says Carter. "I was figuring (and hoping) we would get back together so I bought this for you. Look on the inside."
The inside of the ring is inscripted "Carter luvs Abby"
"You'll wear it right?"
Abby begins to softly cry. She wipes an escaped tear from her cheek. "Of course I will." Abby stretches out her hand. Carter places it on the ring finger of her RIGHT hand (so it's not mistaken for a wedding band).
"One day," says Carter, "If, no, I mean when we get married. We can move this from your right hand to your left hand." Carter smiles and kisses Abby briefly on the lips. His pager goes off. That's Weaver, she gave me 20 minutes. Time's up. Gotta get back to work, but I love you, and I'll be back later." Carter kisses her lips again then exits the room. Abby smiles and stares at her hand. She think excitedly to herself. "I Abby Lockhart, just became John Truman Carter the III girlfriend." Then she rolled over, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
