Sunlight streamed through the small window of the all white hospital room, interrupting Fox's peaceful slumbers.
He moaned, not wanted to let the day greet him. Finally, he resigned and cracked an eye open. To his surprise, Dana was asleep in a chair, her head resting on her folded arms on the bed. Her beautiful red hair spilled across the bed.
She shifted slightly before waking up. She looked up, resting her chin on her hands.
"Good morning," he greeted her with a smile.
"Hi," she replied, sitting up. "We need to talk."
He nodded. "We do."
"Tell me I'm not crazy," Dana said. "Tell me you felt it- feel it- too. Tell me I'm not insane for leaving my fiancé because I don't love him."
"You're not crazy," he assured her. "I feel it. You've got to know that I do. Ever since I laid eyes on you."
She looked into the eyes that she'd been avoiding. "You do?"
He reached for her hand and looked into her eyes. Neither had to say anything because they knew each other's hearts better than they knew their own.
And then they were kissing, eyes closed, not thinking, just feeling, lip pressed to lip, tongues softly exploring the inside of each other's mouths.
Fox pulled back slightly, staring into her eyes, saying the words both felt. "I love you."
"I love you too," she replied, running her hands down his good arm.
They kissed once more before Dana rose. "I need to change before someone realizes I spent the night in a patients room."
