Sorry I haven't updated in ages!I've been so busy.

She was so beautifal and he was so lucky to have her. No one could compare to her. She wasn't just an ordinary woman. He thought as he lay in bed, Elizabeth sound asleep next to him. He looked across at her. Her auburn curls fell across the crisp white pillow and her chest rose and fell slowly with each breath. He often would just lay there watching her sleep. She was so precious to him and he never wanted her to leave him. He gently began to stroke her arm.

Elizabeth jumped awake, startled.

"Sorry." He smiled

"Robert do you intend to give me a heart attack?" She quizzed

"Never," He smiled. He put his hand under her chin and lifted her head to kiss her.

She smiled.

"I didn't even hear you come home." She said

Robert had been working late and although she had intended to stay up her eyes couldn't keep open and she had fallen asleep

"I was quite." He smiled

"I've been invited to the Illinois state medical ball." He informed her

"Really? I wasn't." She said. She knew it was only the top people from each hospital int he state but she mentioned her lack of invite anyway

"Well you're not as great as me that's why!" He joked

She playfully punched him.

"Of course you may escort me as my guest." He smiled

"Aren't you going to ask Weaver?"

"Very funny!"

Elizabeth yawned. Robert looked at her. He knew she was tired and so he turned the light off and put the covers over her, kissing her lightly on her head.

"Good night Elizabeth. I love you." He said and turned over.

She was shocked. He had never said he loved her. He had said how much she meant to him e.t.c but the words 'I love you' had never came out of his mouth. But this must mean he had meant it.

"I love you." She replied
