It was three-thirty when Miranda Grey heard the phone on her nightstand start ringing, She jolted, startled by the sudden burst of noise, then looked at her phone wondering, who the hell would call now? Still half asleep she picked up the phone and answered.

"Hello?" she yawned groggily

"Miranda? It's me, Chloe…did I wake you up? I'm so sorry"

"Oh hi Chloe…yes you did wake me up, but worry about it" and she meant it, she was now wide-awake and carrying a conversation with Chloe would give her mind a chance to stay off the topic of Rachel, Doug and her recent break up with Pete. Not that her and Pete had any problems, she felt it was time to move on from Doug, a decision that was the hardest thing she had to decide in her life, but they rarely had time for each other. Miranda had taken a new job that was two hours away from the psyche ward and had even moved to a house closer to her new job, with her and Pete's extremely demanding schuedals they both knew breaking up was for the best. This did not come easy to Miranda, although she never showed it.

"Oh good I really don't want to get on your bad side"

"You'll never be on my bad side Chloe, but could be please tell me why are you calling me?"

"Could I stay at your house? The electricity isn't working in mine"

"Of course you can. When are you coming?" asked Miranda, glad that Chloe had asked to stay with her. Strange, Chloe could've asked anybody she was friends with this question, so why did she choose Miranda?

"Is now okay?" asked Chloe; her voice seemed even closer.

"I guess. Chloe where are you?" asked Miranda

"Standing in front of your door. Could you please come open it? It's freezing out here"

"Sure, just give a me second" Miranda quickly hung up, ran downstairs, and unlocked the door. She opened it and Chloe stepped inside.

"Hey Chloe. Do you want to sit down?" she asked, pointing to the white leather sofa.

"Thank you" Chloe sat down, and laid her elbow on the couch's arm.

Miranda sat down beside, and smiled at her, her eye's locked in on Chloe's and she couldn't help but stare.

"What?" asked Chloe, she also couldn't help but stare into Miranda's brown eyes.

"You have beautiful eyes," she said. Her own words surprised her, but she didn't regret saying it.

"S-so do you" Chloe was blushing bright red.

Miranda's comment wasn't left forgotten, but the two friends busied themselves with other discussions.

"So how's Dr.Grahm?" asked Chloe.

At these words everything Miranda was dreading came flooding back into mind. "He-he's fine" she choked, tears falling from her eyes.

"I'm sorry, really I-" Chloe had started to say something but was stopped suddenly when she felt Miranda's head on shoulder.

"Everything's going to be okay…I promise" she pulled Miranda closer to her, and softly kissed her cheek.

Miranda was surprised by the kiss, but nonetheless she lifted her head and kissed Chloe's lips softly. "I-I love you Chloe" she said these words with absolutely nothing love for the woman, like it was supposed to be.

Chloe looked at Miranda. Not a single person had ever said that to her. "I-I love you too Miranda" she return Miranda's kiss. "I always will"

My heart's not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of living solitaire
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe In The Arms Of Love

Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high-wire act I know
Someday I'll find a net below

Someday I'm gonna be
Safe In The Arms Of Love
Safe In The Arms Of Love

Chorus:
I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe In The Arms Of Love
I wanna fall and know that love as caught me
Safe In The Arms Of Love
Safe In The Arms Of Love

I want a heart to be forever mine
Want eyes to see me satisfied
Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry
Someday I'm gonna be safe in the arms of love
Safe In The Arms Of Love
