Chapter 17 - String?
Max looked at the spool of thread with a puzzled expression....."Thank you....I love it?"
Logan smiled as hr took the box from Max and removed the spool. "You know I was married to Val for a little more then a year." Logan began thoughtfully. "But, we both know how that ended, she never really did love me. Mabye I could have done something differently, maybe it wasn't meant to be at all, I'll never know. But now I've found you Max."
As he had talked he had made a knot in the end of the thread, he reached out, picking up Max's hand and sliding the lop onto the ring finger of her right hand. He smiled as he unwound a length of thread from the spool.
"Marriage is a fragile thing, I let one break" He snapped the thread off at the spool. Deftly he made another knot which he slipped onto his own ring finger. "But this time I won't let the thread break." With that he let a small diamond ring slide down the thread from his hand and onto her finger. "Will you marry me Max?"
Max looked at him with tears shinning in her eyes, all of a sudden she sprung at him, wrapping her arms around his neck, almost knocking him over as she kissed him hard on the lips.
A moment later Logan broke from the kiss and studied her face. "So should I take that as a no?" He asked pretending to look upset.
"You know how to take that." she said making a move to kiss him again.
"All right can I have that back then?" He asked, his eyes smiling.
"Not in this life time boy!" Max responded with a big smile.
"You've made me so happy baby." Logan said, Max simply kissed him response.
"I love you Logan......I love you Logan.........
Her voice grew distant as Logan awoke again. Max's voice ringing in his ears and her kiss lingering on his lips. He sighed, the pain coming back freshly. He fought sleep, but he was so tired, the last few days having taken their toll on him. But as hard as he fought, sleep claimed him in the end.
