Dawn moved, trying to get the chair handle out of the small of her back. Nervously, she checked her watch. She couldn't believe Paul was still in surgery.

During her match against Torrie, Paul had collapsed. Dawn had known he hadn't been feeling well. She just hadn't known how bad it was. Paul had hid how crappy he felt, so she wouldn't worry.

She had found this incredibly sweet, although idiotic.

His appendix had burst, a life threatening condition.

All Dawn could do was wait, wait and pray for a miracle.

"Any word?" Peter, his best friend asked, walking into the surgical waiting room. She shook her head as he handed her a cup of strong black coffee. She sipped it and winced, realizing it was decaf.

"Why is this decaf!" she snarled, setting the cup on the side table. She closed her eyes, trying to shake off her headache.

"Torrie has me drinking decaf. She says caffiene lowers my sperm count," he explained, shaking his head. Groaning, she smacked herself in her head with her palm. She couldn't believe the things he said.

"Did I really need to hear that?" she asked, yawning. She was beyond exhausted. Yet, sleep eluded her. She had never been so worried about anyone. A nurse, dressed in blue-green scrubs, walked over to them.

"Excuse me, are you two with Paul London?" she asked. Dawn slowly nodded. The nurse grinned.

"How is he?" Peter asked. The nurse sighed.

"He's doing fine. He's a little groggy from the anesthesia but he's asking for you," she said, turning to Dawn.

Dawn jumped to her feet. Eagerly, she followed the nurse. The ward seemed to stretch on and on. Finally, the nurse turned into a room.

Dawn rushed through the door. Paul was sound asleep, a heart monitor monitoring his vitals with quiet beeps.

Silently, she sat beside his bed in a hard blue plastic chair. Rifling through her purse, she found a thick pad of legal paper. A notorious list maker, she always carried it with her. Uncapping a pen, she began to write.

Dear Paul,

Hello, My Love. You've given me the biggest scare ever! I was SO afraid I'd lose you.

Your appendix burst because you were an arrogant macho man. You could have died!

My biggest fear was that you would die before knowing how much I love you. I love you so much, Baby.

I can't imagine life without you. You're the first thing on my mind in the morning.You're the last thing on my mind at night. You're in my dreams. I would rather die than lose you.

I've been hurt by love in the past. Since Rene left me, I vowed never to put my heart at risk.

You've made me break my vow. I love you more than the sun and the moon. I'll stop loving you when forever ends.

I want to bear your children. I want to grow old with you. I want to die in your arms.I have never felt so strongly about someone.

I love you.

Love,

Dawn Marie

Yawning,she sealed the letter. Then, in the gentle glow of the monitors, she drifted into a peaceful slumber.
