She looks so delicate

Lying there in the mid morning light

Ann looks so small lying on that big bed alone

I can attest to how comfortable this bed is

Much nicer than my lumpy mattress at Shibden

she's never slept over at my house

In my bed

Lately I've sleep much better over here

I've always slept better when sharing a bed

Hopefully Ann feels the same way

There's nothing in the world that I wouldn't do for her

To give her comfort especially now

With this disgusting so called clergyman in town

He'll never hurt Anne again

I'll horse whip him myself if I have to

My protective instincts kick in once again as I

Gently I move a lock of hair off her face

Breathing in her sweet scent

As I was resisting the temptation to kiss Ann's sleeping form I feel her stirring

She instantly locks onto my face "Anne?"

"Good morning." I'll always be here for you
