I awoke early that morning; I turned on my side to see my dearest Edward: he was gone! Where had he gone? I quickly dressed in my usual grey Lowood frock. I pinned my hair up in its usual style, and headed for the kitchen. As I entered the kitchen I saw Maria preparing a tray of tea and toast. I looked at her and I saw a figure in the corner of the room talking to Mrs Graham. Mrs Graham must have seen me as she quickly exited the kitchen, the figure turned around to see who it was. It was Edward! I was so relieved: I thought he had disappeared and left me once again to fend for myself. You do not know the relief and happiness that struck my heart. He approached me by the kitchen door and sat me in a chair around the large round wooden table.

"You were supposed to be in bed. It was supposed to be a surprise breakfast for you."

"Oh, I'm sorry Edward have I ruined it?"

"Well, now you have yes!" we both chuckled at his silly remark.

"I awoke and you where gone! I did not know what had happened to you, I was so worried and scared."

"Oh my love, I am sorry I left you."

"I forgive you Edward."

Edward then ordered Maria out of the kitchen to see to Mrs Graham.

After she had exited the kitchen Edward sat me on his knee and held me tightly. He held my hands in his and kissed me.

"Were you afraid Jane? Last night?"

"No Edward, I was happy because I was with you."

"I am so happy to hear you say that Jane! So you have no regrets."

"No, no regrets."

"Do you Edward?"

"Of course not."

He then kissed me on my forehead and gazed into my eyes. I wondered at this moment what he was thinking.

I wondered what he always thought every time he stared into my eyes with his deep hazel eyes, which had me hypnotized by his love and passion.

"Edward?"

"Yes Jane?"

"What are you thinking? When you look into my eyes?"

"Well Jane, I'm thinking what does an old man like me deserve to have a young, beautiful angel like you?

"Edward!"

I tapped him playful on his arm.

"I'm just telling the truth Jane, I don't deserve you and you don't deserve me you deserve someone so much better than me. Why Jane? Why do you love me so?"

"You do deserve me Edward, I love you and you or anyone else cannot change that. I could not bear to be with another man other than you, I cannot bear to be apart from you. And why do I love you? Because you are handsome, kind and loving, you have

showed me love that no words could explain, I cannot explain how much love I feel for you Edward, because there are no words to describe it."

"Oh Jane!"

"This bond between us can't be broken, I will be here don't you worry!"

"You'll be in my heart always, you know that Jane. I know were different but, deep inside us were not that different at all!"

"Edward, we need each other to have; to hold, I will always be here for you and you'll always be in my heart!"

We kissed and embraced once more. I knew that Edward had to leave today: back to Thornfield; back to her…back to Bertha!

"I must leave you again today Jane!"

"I know Edward, I know!"

"Will you be alright?"

Yes. I have been alright up until now haven't i?"

"That is very true Jane, and I promise I will write to you every other week. I will not worry you again."

"Well, I should hope not."

I smiled at him and he responded with a smile and a kiss of my hand. I rose up from his knee and let him stand. I told him to ready himself in his chamber and I would get Mesrour ready for him. As he exited the kitchen up to his chamber I went out to the stables, were the stable boy was working.

"Could you get our guests horse ready please, he will be leaving shortly."

"Yes, of course Miss. Right away!"

He hurried off and I returned to the house. I then informed Mrs Graham that Mr Rochester was to be leaving early this morning and I thanked her for allowing him to stay the night after his long journey. I met Edward in the main entrance hall he had, hat, coat and riding gloves about him. He looked handsomer than ever before had I seen him when in his riding attire. I bid him farewell once again.

"Don't forget to write to me Edward!"

"I promise!"

As he embraced me I gently whispered in his ear.

"And thank you for last night Edward, I had a wonderful time."

"I think I enjoyed it more Jane. I will write to you when you will be returning."

"I hope it is soon!"

"So do I Jane…so do I!"

The stable boy had Mesrour saddled and ready for Mr Rochester's departure. He kissed me tenderly on my lips and then saddled Mesrour and rode away. I so desperately wanted to run after him and let him stay here with me, but I knew he had business to take care off back at Thornfield. We both hoped that his 'business' would be settled soon, so I could finally return to Adele, Mrs Fairfax and my beloved Edward. Mrs Fairfax and Adele new off Bertha's existence and new of mine and Edwards agreement, at first Mrs Fairfax was disgraced and appalled but she has finally gotten used to the idea, and as for little Adele, she is overjoyed that we are staying together. I saw him ride off into the foggy sky and then, he was gone, gone out of my reach once more. I stayed outside just waiting for him to return for approximately an hour, it turned chilly and I made my way back inside, into the warmth of the fire.

That day all I could think about was him, had he gotten back to Thornfield safely? What was he doing now? Was he thinking of me as I was of him? These were questions I had no answers too. That I could not answer until I met with him once more. It was near 9 o'clock when I retire to my chamber. I dressed in my white nightgown and as I was brushing my hair, through the mirror I noticed a small object on my bedside table. I laid my brush on the side and walked towards the table next to my bed. I picked it up. It was a small book of poems, and songs; as I flicked through the book one song struck me. There as a little marker on the page. I sat on the edge of the bed and read it.

I loved you the first day I met you

I wished that you loved me too;

I think of you most every day

Hoping that you will stay;

Do you think of me as I do you

Please say you do, would I lose you;

You'll be in my heart always

Always and forever;

What would I do without you

How can I not love you;

How can I not want to see you

How can I not want you here by my side,

Here in my arms;

My heart felt full of passion and lovingness for him. It was not until I looked at the back of the book that I saw Edward had wrote these songs and poems himself; it then dawned on me, where they written for me? When were they written? And, did Edward leave this here for me to see? As soon as I had received his next letter I would write to him asking the same questions as I have just asked myself. I was tired and needed rest. Where I could only think of our one night of pleasure together in my dreams, and hoped we were together again soon…
