When Roz was gone, Daphne returned her attention to Niles' letter, unable to stop reading the beautiful words that he'd written. Page after page filled with praise and love for her.

And once more she found it impossible to believe that anyone could think so highly of her. She knew Niles loved her and had loved her for a long time but this was far beyond anything she could ever have imagined.

He spoke of how he'd fallen in love with her mere seconds after meeting her and how that love grew into something even he couldn't fathom.

Once more tears filled her eyes and she felt as though she was reading the letter for the very first time.

As she read she could almost hear him speaking directly to her; pouring his heart out much like he had done on that fateful night at the Wayside Inn... mere hours before she'd almost made the biggest mistake of her life.

Still staring at the pages, Daphne walked into the living room and settled herself onto the fainting couch.

Seconds later she heard the door unlocking and she looked up to find her husband smiling at her.

In one fluid motion she rose and went to him; the tears streaming down her cheeks.

Niles tossed his keys aside and took off his jacket, draping it over the nearest chair.

"Hello, my love. I'm sorry I'm so late. I had a breakthrough with a patient and-"

"Yes, I'll marry you."

He blinked in surprise.

"W-what?"

"Yes, Niles Crane. I'll marry you. In fact, I'd marry you every day for the rest of my life."

He grinned and blushed, looking just like a little boy.

"Daphne..."

"Yes?"

Niles laughed and kissed her once more.

"I'll never tire of hearing those words, but in case you've forgotten, we're already married."

"I-I know... and I'm happier than I ever dreamed."

Before he could respond, she kissed him even deeper; drawing back only to catch her breath.

"I'm happy too, my angel; and as ecstatic as I am to come home to such a marvelous display of affection-."

"I love you, Niles... I love you so much."

As she cried in his arms, he held her close.

"I love you too. But is something wrong, Daphne?"

"I-I'm sorry. I-I just can't believe..."

"What?"

"Did you really mean those beautiful words that you wrote?"

His eyebrows rose in confusion. "What I-."

"In your letter." She finished.

"My-."

She handed him the sheets of paper, somewhat nervous about his impending reply.

He flipped through the pages, staring at them in bewilderment. "Daphne... Where did you find these?"

"I-In your office. L-Look, I know I wasn't supposed to be in there but I was looking for David's storybook in the library and I noticed the scattered papers on your desk. I was only trying to straighten them up and-and they fell onto the floor. I'm so sorry, Niles. I didn't mean to be so nosy. I-I just saw me name and-."

"It's all right." He said drawing her close to stroke her hair. "Shh... Please don't cry. I'm glad you found them."
