Chapter 5: Just So You'll Always Remember

Walker and Alex stayed up on the roof wrapped in each other's arms and enjoyed being together all night for the first time in a really long time. They enjoyed looking up at the stars and for everyone they saw they named one thing they loved about the other one.

"And I love that you are funny." Alex told Walker.

"I love that you are cute." Walker said and Alex started laughing.

"I love you because you're always there for me."

"I love you cause you're you."

"And I love you just because." Alex said as she kissed him and then Walker returned the kiss.

After kissing for several minutes, Walker leaned up reliantly. "Let's go inside where it's warmer." Walker told Alex and then pulled her to her feet. Walker helped Alex down from the roof and they headed inside the cabin. Walker and Alex spent the night wrapped in each other's arms and for the first time in a long time enjoyed a nice peaceful night alone, just enjoying being with one another. Neither one could ask for anything more after a month apart that only included one short visit.

Walker rose with the birds the next morning. He watched Alex sleep for a few minutes before he realized that there was still something he needed to do. The previous night he had told Alex why he loved her and now he was going to make sure she always remembered.

Walker walked across the room to the desk in the corner. He turned on the light and started to write yet another 'list of ten things.' He knew Alex had been enjoying them and he intended to continue them.

Once Walker was finished, he put the 'list of ten things' in an envelope and sealed it. He then wanted to put the envelope somewhere where he knew Alex would find it. But where? He had already put one in her pocket and then at other odd spots where he knew she'd come across them but where could he put this one?

About half an hour later Walker decided that if he simply put it on the table in the kitchen and walked by it as if he didn't notice it, Alex would pick it up and read it once again.

Walker headed back into the cabin bedroom to watch Alex sleep. She only slept for a few more minutes and she smiled as she woke up and found Walker smiling back at her.

"Morning sleepy-head." Walker said as he bent down to kiss her.

"Morning Cowboy. And just who are you calling sleepy-head? It's only a little after 6." Alex questioned Walker playfully.

"Come on. I'll make you breakfast while you take a shower." Walker told Alex.

"Can't I make breakfast with you?"

"If you want to I just thought you might like to enjoy a nice warm shower instead and then that way I could fix you a wonderful breakfast."

"Well if you put it that way, then I guess I should go take a shower." And with that Alex got up and headed to the shower while Walker headed to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Alex stepped into the kitchen 30 minutes later to the smell of bacon and eggs. She went up and gave Walker a kiss and then noticed an envelope on the table. She walked over to the table and picked it up. It read:

TO ALEX THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

FROM WALKER THE MAN WHOSE HEART SHE OWNS

Alex turned the envelope over and opened it. Inside she found a 'list of ten things.'
