Four hours later, I find myself drooling on his chest. It seems we fell asleep on the couch watching that rom-com. I can't help but smile at his bed hair, he's adorable. I wandered into the kitchen to get a glass of water, as I was walking back into the living room I decided to go my favorite spot in the cabin. It's down the hall near my bedroom, a big four paned window with a bench beneath it. The perfect reading spot. Hundreds of trees paint the Earth outside my window. I stare out the window letting time pass by.
"I know why you came here now."
"What?" He startled me.
"After you got out of the hospital. I know why you stayed here for three months. It's peaceful…calming."
"Yeah, it's comforting. A lot of good memories here." I gestured for him to sit next to me. He did and I let my head fall to his chest. He put his arm around me, squeezing me close. "I'm still sorry I didn't call you. I hope you know how much I…how much I need you." I choked out, suddenly emotional as tears trickled down my face irrepressibly. "I really love you."
"Hey," he said softly, "I do know." He kissed my cheek.
"I just…I want you to know how much you mean to me."
"I do. I can see it in your eyes. I've always have."
I kissed his hands and held them closer to me. "I love you." I mumbled.
"I love you more."
"Let's go to bed." I stood up and held out my hand for him, he took it. His warm hand was the warmth I craved, the solace. "There's no way you love me more. I love you most and I always will."
