Sorry, I tried to get this up sooner, but I've been kinda sick from the surgery.
This is dedicated to all my wonderful reviewers.

9:00 am
Starfire leaned with her back against her bedroom door. She slid down slowly while the tears started to flow freely now. She couldn't believe he was really gone. Robin had been her caretaker, her best friend, and although she had never said it out loud, her one true love. She had somehow managed to fall deeply in love with the famed Boy Wonder over the past three years. She would do anything for him. She sniffed and walked over to her window. She was about to sit down to admire the view when she spied a single red rose on top of another white and gold envelope. With trembling hands, she opened the letter while clutching the rose to her chest.
To my dearest Star, not, my dearest Kori,
By this time, you will have found the other letter from the kitchen, so I will not waste your time explaining this to you. I hope you are not angry with me for having to leave you and the team so quickly and quietly.
Kori, you have always been my best friend, ever since this team formed. I loved every second I ever spent with you or, physically or just when I thought about you. In fact, I never told you, which I regret, but I am truly, honestly in love with you.
I am earning a good salary now, and I want to come and take you to be with me when the time is right, or when I have enough money for us to live in a good, large house. I want us to be together. Forever.
Each day I will you a single red rose. Once a week, I will leave you a note. If you'll accept me and forgive everything I have done, if you will stay with me as my wife forever, then leave your window unlocked everyday. If you never want to see me again, or if you just don't love me, lock your window two days in a row and I will never bother you again. If you accept me, on the night when I come o take you, I will leave a single white rose and a letter with instructions for the day written on it.
It won't be long Kori, I promise.
Love,
Richard Grayson
P.S. Don't tell the others about my note for you. They will not understand. We'll tell them together, when the time is right.
Tears of joy streamed down Starfire's sun kissed cheeks and led to her blood red lips. She then had enough courage to glance at the letter again, to make sure it wasn't a horrid dream her mind schemed to make her feel better. She saw that the note was real enough. She then looked down at the rose she still clutched. She delicately placed the two precious items on her nightstand. She hurried over to her window and unlocked it and hurried down stairs to see if the others had read their own letters yet.

I know this was a short chapter, but I thought it should just be about Star and her reaction to the letter, plus I am still feeling horribly ill. So please read and review! I'll try to have the next chapter up before Wednesday, but no promises. We'll see how sick I am.
