Once Kirsten had left Ryan just lay there waiting for Marissa to wake. After about ½ hour she stirred and saw and arm around. She didn't know who's it was. She turned over and realised she was in his pool house. Then she saw him looking up at the ceiling. She snuggled into him more. She didn't quite understand what she was doing here. How she had got here. All that mattered was that she was in his arms. He saw that her eyes were open and gently kissed her forehead. She rolled over and smiled up at him. He smiled back at her and cuddled her into him.
"What are you doing back?"
"I came to see you."
"What. Why?"
"Marissa I love you. I want to be with you. I don't want to be with Theresa, I never did."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Well I love you too. How am I here?"
"Well you rang me last night like you normally do every night. This time once you started crying you didn't hang up."
"You mean, you knew it was me all this time."
"Of course I did."
"Oh my god."
"So when you didn't hang up, I whispered Marissa and you sobbed back Ryan and hung up. So I grabbed all my stuff and drove here."
"Did you pick me up on the way here?"
"No. I rang you and told you to come over to the pool house and asked you to not drive."
"Okay. Did I drive?"
"No, you walked."
"Okay. Are you here to stay?"
"Yeah. I think so."
"You think so?"
"Yeah. I need to tell Theresa I have left and get me stuff. After that it's up to you if you want me to come back?"
"Of course I want you to come back."
"Are you sure."
"Yeah."
"Well then come here and give me a kiss."
With that they started kissing.
