Rays of sunlight seeped in through the cracks in the blinds over the windows of the small hospital room while Sawyer slept peacefully. Danny sat on a stool nearby. If I had a nickel for every girl as amazing as Sawyer, I'd have five cents.

A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. One of the nurses entered. "Sir? Visiting hours are over. You'll have to come back tomorrow."

"Five more minutes with her, please miss?"

The nurse smiled. "I'll give you ten, honey. I can tell, you two were made for each other. She needs you more than anything we can give her right now."

"Thanks, miss. Thanks a lot!"

"Don't mention it. Let us know if she wakes up."

With that, the nurse left, closing the door quietly on her way out.


Sawyer felt the air fly by almost as fast as her feet were moving. Suddenly, she felt her feet were moving ON air. She glanced down and saw the world beneath her, sinking far away from sight. Finally, the Earth itself had completely disappeared, and it was now only her and Danny, flying as they danced through the stars, dancing to the music of the celestial night.


Sawyer groggily opened her eyes. Out of the corner of her vision she saw Danny. Slowly she became aware that he was holding her hand. "Danny?"

Danny's ears perked up, and he placed his other hand on top of Sawyers. "Hey, beautiful. How you feeling?"

Sawyer leaned back on the pillow. "Oh, I've felt a lot better. But there's been worse."

It was then that she noticed the little red box sitting on the table next to her. "Danny? Is that...?"

Danny grinned widely. "That little thing? It's funny, I was going to give it to you at dinner. Everyone would have been there, I invited Cranston and Fanny, Tillie, TW, Wooly... then you gave us your little scare. I guess now's as good a time as any to give it to you." He reached over and picked up the box, then turned to Sawyer. "Sawyer... will you marry me?" and as he spoke he opened the box slowly, finally opening it to show the diamond ring on the inside.

Tears welled up in Sawyer's eyes. "I thought you'd never ask you crazy cat."

"Is that a yes I hear?"

"Most definitely" and she kissed him lovingly on the cheek.

"Well, you're certainly looking a lot better." Danny jumped as he realized the nurse had entered. Sawyer jumped too... as far as one could laying on a hospital bed. The nurse smiled, "Sorry, hon, but I'm gonna have to kick you out for real this time. The doctor needs to run some tests."

Danny glanced at Sawyer, "You gonna be okay?"

Sawyer smiled up at Danny, "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine here. You've probably got something you need to be doing. Go get 'em tiger."

"Why do I get the feeling you copied that from somewhere?"

Danny leaned down and kissed Sawyer gently on the cheek. As he pulled back, he heard Sawyer whisper, "I love you, Danny."

Danny's head paused before he whispered back, "Love you too, Sawyer."
