Missing You – Part 3
By: SnowWhite
Lexie woke up to the sound of music filling up the room 'I Honestly Love You'
It took her a minute to work out what the song was until she heard the words
Suddenly she sat up in bed. Where was the music coming from? 'I love you'
She got out of bed and walked a few paces, following the sound
'I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable, I'm not trying to make you anything at all'
Lexie sighed as she saw Molly in the doorway
" Is this you?"
Molly smiled " You've got a letter, and your old romantic of a husband asked me to play this song for you when you woke up."
"Thanks Molly" Lexie smiled and took the envelope from Molly with a hug before sitting down on the bed to read it.
The lines washed over her like the music.
Even all the way from Nepal Archie could still read her mind. He knew she was scared of leaving Glenbogle and that she needed to always have a lifeline back to it.
He was asking her to trust him, could she do that?
Could she trust him with her life?
She remembered back to her wedding vows
" Archie I don't have anything to give you- except my heart, my soul and my life. If you'd be my husband, I'll trust you, and I'll cherish you until the last breath leaves my body."
She couldn't let him down, he was right she had promised. And yes, she did trust him.
Even though she was scared, even though she wished he'd never gone, and they'd never have to leave this place, he was still her husband and she had said that she would support him in everything and even go to the ends of the earth for him.
It was two weeks until he was due home.
And she knew even though she was scared she was safe with him.
'I love you' she whispered into the empty room, before placing the letter under her pillow and walking out the door to another day
