Chapter 8
"Nan," Ned said in a tired voice. "You have to take a break. Let's get some sleep, it's 3:30 in the morning."
Nancy yawned. "But I still haven't found a clue or anything…."
Ned scooped her up in his arms. "You are going to bed now even if I have to personally carry you to the bed and watch you fall asleep." He said softly.
"Fine." Nancy murmured, burying her face in his chest. "But only because I love you."
Ned
grinned. "I love you too, Nance. Now let's get some
rest."
Nancy clung to Ned "Can you carry me upstairs, I'm
too tired to use my
crutches."
Ned chuckled. "And you wanted to stay up. Okay, up you go."
Nancy giggled as Ned lifted her up and spun around. She loved being
with him so much.
Ned walked upstairs to Nancy's room and placed an already sleeping Nancy on her bed. He too was tired and decided to lay down with her. He wrapped an arm around her and whispered "I love you Nancy Drew, more than you will ever know.

The next morning Nancy woke up to someone kissing her neck. She rolled over to come face to face with Ned.
"What are you doing here?" Nancy mumbled into his chest.
Ned grinned. "What? Am I not wanted?" he teased.
Nancy looked up and Ned gently pushed his lips to hers. "Nah, I think I'll keep you." Nancy said playfully.
They got out of bed and began to get ready for the day. Nancy wanted to finish this case out once and for all, not only because she wanted to stop more money from being stolen, but also because she wanted more time with Ned. They needed to catch up and discuss their relationship.
Suddenly Nancy had an idea. Why didn't I think of this before? She thought to herself.
"Ned! I have a breakthrough!"

The couple rushed to the bank where Nancy worked her Drew charm. They were able to get the "name" of the person who took the checks out of the bank.
"Elizabeth Eldnik." Ned said out loud. "Why does that name sound so familiar?"
Nancy sighed. "I have no idea. It's probably just a-"
Ned cut her off suddenly. "I got it!"
Nancy felt the excitement building up inside her, and she hoped that it paned out. "Well, are you going to tell me anytime soon? I'm ready to burst!" Nancy said dramatically.
Ned grinned and put his arm around her. "Well, I have a feeling that you are going to like who's behind the missing wedding money."
Nancy gave Ned a light punch on the arm. "Who is it?"
"Well, Elizabeth is Gabriella's middle name, and Eldnik is Kindle spelled backwards so I would think that it has to be-"
"Gabriella! Ned you're a genius!" Nancy exclaimed.
Ned smiled and kissed her nose. "Yeah I know." He teased.
Nancy decided to give Ned a little taste of his own medicine. "So Ned," She said draping her arms around Ned's neck. "Whatever can I do to repay you for figuring out such a big part of this mystery?" She finished her lips just centimeters apart from Ned's.
"I can think of a few things." Ned replied huskily. He leaned in and just when his lips grazed Nancy's, she hopped out of his arms and limped down the corridor.
"Maybe later Nickerson! We have a thief to catch!" Nancy called back in a teasing voice.
Ned chuckled and ran after her. Same old Nancy.
