Lily realized she had gone off on a rant and suddenly felt bad that she might be talking too much about herself. After finishing the bite she was chewing, she looked over at Dave. "Tell me about yourself, Dave. I have been going on about myself, and I do not know very much about you." She gave him a small smile and watched him, wanting him to know that she was listening.

"Somewhere…deep inside you, you know everything there is to know about me. More about me than even I know about me. I'll tell you everything you want to know, I want you to remember who I am. Who I was to you. I wasn't always so angry and so cruel, in fact, when I first met you I was an angel. One of the chosen, I was sent by God to protect and watch over his two new creations. The first two people to walk this earth, it was you and Adam. Yes, Adam, our dear husband. Who treated us like we were a lesser person! But we were never that, we were always the stronger of the two. Lucky for us our sexy guardian angel here decided to fall with us. The voice in Lily's head chuckled. Lily looked at Dave and focused on what he was telling her. "I sat and watched you, you were so beautiful! I would follow you as you took your walks around the garden. I admit, I was jealous of Adam, he had been given you to be his wife. I knew you weren't happy, maybe before you knew it. You were so independent and intelligent! I knew he didn't treat you the way someone like you should be treated. Like an equal. I was forbidden to talk to you or touch you. That was so hard, especially the night I saw you in among the trees crying. I wanted to comfort you and tell you all the things he never would have. So I continued to watch and hope that someday, I would get my chance. Of course I never realized that my chance would come when you decided to follow Lucifer down." Dave's face contorted when saying the dark angel's name. "I do not blame you for going with him. He after all was promising you everything that Adam and I could not give you. When you decided to leave the garden, that was when I decided I could not wait for you anymore. So I defied my God and fell. I was not prepared for the pain involved, but it was worth it. It took almost 1,000 years for you to leave Hell and come above. When I saw you then…you were as beautiful as you had been in that garden. It was then that I approached you, nervous that I you would turn me away. Imagine how happy I was when you embraced me and asked me what had taken me so long. I always wondered if you had always known I was there in the garden watching over you. That's when we started our travels together." Dave stared into Lily's eyes. "When I saw you a few days ago…I knew I couldn't let you go again. I love you that much!" Dave took his hand and placed it over Lily's hand. "I wish you remembered me the way I remember you! I am very pleased though that you have decided to stay here and spend some time with me. I promise, you won't regret it."

As Lily sat with Dave's hand over hers, she couldn't help but wonder if she'd ever remember the part of her life that apparently belonged to the voice in her head. She gave Dave a smile. "Sometimes, when you are not being so harsh…you almost seem angelic." She grinned at him. "If you are finished I can get to these dishes and start cleaning up. Then perhaps you could help me back up to my bed? My legs are still a little shaky." She picked up each of their plates and brought them to the small sink. She realized she hadn't planned ahead and heated any water. She looked around the room. "Dave? Could I get you to bring me some water that I can heat over the fire to clean with? In my excitement to cook, I guess I did not think past that."

"Of course, but if you are feeling weak, we could worry about these things until morning. Let me bring you back upstairs to rest. These will still be around in the morning, and if you are feeling better I will bring you to the nearby village. We can look for those seeds for our garden." He watches as she yawns. "Yes. Please let me take you up to rest. It was a wonderful meal you prepared and now you should sleep." Dave didn't give Lily a chance to answer. He walked around the counter and lifted her with ease into his arms. She settled into his arms as he carried her up the winding stairs to the bedroom she had been recovering in. Gently laying her on the bed and settling beside her. He turned into her back, inhaling the scent of her hair as he ran his hands through it. "Close your eyes, Lily. I will stay and make sure you are not disturbed."

In truth, Lily was feeling tired from the activity of fixing that meal. She had started to become accustom to being in Dave's strong, muscular arms. Now laying on the bed with him curled behind her, she allowed her eyes to close. She was only slightly aware of him playing with her hair. In her sleeping state, Lily found herself in a beautiful place. It was lush, green and there were plants in bloom. She looked around and felt like she had been there before. She started to walk down a familiar pathway. As she continued on, she found a second version of herself sitting in a clearing. Next to the duplicate self, was Dave. He was sprawled out next to her in the grass, stroking her hair. She suddenly realized she remembered this moment. She didn't know how but she knew that it had occurred in a small clearing after they had stormed a village together. Lily murmured the words Dave was going to utter to the second her at any moment. "Your hair smells of wood smoke and destruction. I love how it smells mixed with your feminine scent." Sure enough, he opened his mouth and uttered the same words. Could it be that she was starting to remember the life that he spoke of?
