The bed bounced as Delia sat down next to Patsy. She had just picked up one of Patsy's cardigans and started folding it neatly.

"I heard you saved a man's life today" Delia said while folding

Patsy was leaning back on her hands watching Delia, they had been friends for a while now and she liked that they were so relaxed around each other "I did what anyone else would have done" she answered slightly distracted

"But not anyone did do it, you did it" Delia said making eye contact with Patsy "and i'm very proud of you" she smiled

Patsy smiled a little embarrassed and looked away.

"Have I made you blush?" Delia asked smiling and laughing just a little, trying to get a better look at Patsy's face.

"No, of course not" Patsy protested looking away

"No?" Delia asked smiling

"No" Patsy smiled still looking away from Delia trying to hide her red cheeks

"Well, maybe I need to try harder?"

Patsy laughed a little nervously.

Delia watched Patsy as she sat forward on the bed and moved a strand of her blonde hair out of her eyes. She could see she was trying to act as if she wasn't slightly embarrassed by Delia's words, Patsy has never been able to take a compliment well.

As she watched Patsy she saw the softness in her that she rarely let anyone else see and an idea popped into her head. Before she could think it through properly she reached up, turned Patsy's face towards her and leant forward and kissed her softly.

When she realised exactly what she had just done Delia pulled away quickly. They both looked at each other in shock for a moment before Delia shook her head "I'm… I'm so sorry…. I … I shouldn't have.…" She stood quickly "I'm so sorry" She said again as she started to walk towards the door.

Patsy watched her stand barely registering what she was saying. But she knew she didn't want Delia to leave. She quickly reached out and managed to catch Delia's wrist as she passed in front of her "Don't…." she said softly

Delia stopped and looked down at Patsy, who was still on her bed

"Don't leave….. don't … say you're sorry"

Patsy stood, still holding Delia's wrist and moved in front of her. Delia looked up at Patsy, neither of them moving until Patsy slowly leaned down and kissed Delia
