Reader, at that very moment I knew what I had to do. I could not bare to leave Thornfield to be away from my master's side.
"Dearest Edward, I will stay here with you, at the thought that one day we will marry"
"Jane, you don't know what that means to me to hear you say that, my dearest angel. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone before, I could not bare the thought of you leaving me, if you did not return my love my heart would be broken!"
"I will stay with you Edward, and we will take care of bertha together, hand in hand, side by side. And all my love is yours."
Reader he held me close to him and kissed me tenderly, at that moment when I brushed against his cheek I felt a small tear roll down his face. I gently brushed away his tears with my hand. I sat nestled in his arms, I felt safe on that night his touch on my back, just to let him touch me was a pleasure to my heart. The clock in Mr Rochester's study had just struck twelve and we sat silent listening to the chime. It was at this moment that I realised we had been up most of the night talking together and enjoying one another's company.
Mr Rochester kissed my forehead and I blushed a light shade of pink.
"Jane, we have stayed up too long, and I can see that you are pale, you need rest, you must retire to your chamber, i do not want you sickening"
"Goodnight my dear Edward, although I will not sleep tonight I will do ask you require me to."
"Goodnight my dearest Jane! Will you join me for breakfast in the morning?"
"Yes. Goodnight."
I slowly stood and walked towards the door. It was at this moment that Edward told me of his undying love for me.
"Jane, I do love you"
He looked at me with starry eyes. I could not stand in his presence for much longer, as I may have returned to my previous position nestled in his arms. I retired through his chamber door and down the corridor to my own chamber, as I walked past Adele's room I could see she was sound asleep, I gently kissed her goodnight on her forehead and finally retired to my own chamber.
I awoke early that morning anxious to great my Edward for breakfast. I quickly washed and dressed into my white Lowood gown, I did not think it was elegant for me to wear but I thought it better than my normal grey one.
I could hear Mr Rochester in the kitchen talking to Mrs Fairfax to see if I had awoken yet, I walked into the kitchen and stood next to him.
"There you are at last Jane; I have been waiting for you to awake on this fine summer morning"
He slowly took me into his arms and welcomed me with an embrace and a kiss.
"Know quickly have some breakfast Jane or we'll be late!"
"Why where are we going?"
"Where going into town"
I ate some breakfast and hastened upstairs to fetch my bonnet and shawl, me and Mr Rochester walked out hand in hand to the shining black carriage that was awaiting us in the courtyard, John the coachman was driving and as me and Mr Rochester climbed into the carriage and headed for town Mr Rochester gave me something which I had lost 2 weeks ago.
"I believe this is yours."
My heart started to beat in my chest hard like an iron fist, I had not known how he had come across the item or how it had come into his possession but I knew in my heart I could forgive him.
