With only two days in the hospital Lightning was released into Doc's care. The pit crew made it safely back to Radiator Springs. Thanks to Sheriff, who called in some friends to help escort Lightning's pit crew home. Sally stayed by Lightning's side the whole time. Slowly Mack rolled to a stop.
"We're home." Sally said nudging Lightning to wake him up.
"Good." He said. The two of them rolled out of the trailer. Doc pulled up beside them.
"You come see me tomorrow morning son." Doc said. "Sally you take care of this boy tonight." He said as he turned to head to the clinic.
"I will." She said in a far off voice. She followed Lightning back into their house.
"I love you." He said as he leaned against her lovingly.
"I love you." She replied. The two snuggled together for a few minutes. Sally let out a soft sigh.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"It's just been a rough few days." She said.
"No it's more than that." Lightning pressed, "Something's wrong. Yes the last few days have been tough but there's something more to that sigh than just that. I can see it in your eyes. Tell me what's wrong." He said.
"I just keep thinking. If I lost you, what would I do? Whose too say this won't happen again next year? What happens is you don't make it that time? What would I do? I'd don't think I can ever live without you." She rambled.
"You never will have to live without me. I promise." He kissed her fender lightly, "I'm not giving up that easy. You don't have to worry. I'll always be here. I'll always be with you." He said.
"I love you."
"I love you." He said kissing her again. The two snuggled for the rest of the night. Sally soon fell asleep while Lightning stayed up a little bit after her wondering 'How can I make Sally more secure? How can I show her that I'll always be here?'
