Charlie took her hand and was going to kiss it, but could see darkness on her wrist. He sat up and moved the sleeve of her night shirt up her arm. “Oh, babe...”

“Charlie, look at me.”

He lifted his head and gazed into her beautiful blue eyes.

“It’s only a bruise. It will fade. The whole memory will fade to nothing, but it’ll take some time. I’ve still got a bunch of crap to unload.” She laughed. “It’s weird. A few days ago, I felt so angry with you and now I can’t lose you again. Not ever. Please be patient with me.”

“You just try to get rid of me, Lou,” he whispered. He put her hand on his cheek and kissed her bruised wrist.

“It’s not going to happen, ever.” She leaned back, smiled at him and reached up to run her fingers through his long hair. “After our first kiss thirteen years ago, I day-dreamed about you. I’d sit by the river and make up all these scenarios about you coming home. I’d sit on our stump and you’d walk up the river bed toward me. When I got older, the scenes stayed the same, but became much hotter and, no, I’m not giving you any details. I...well, I want to say something to you, but I’m afraid to, Ducky.”

He leaned forward and kissed her lightly. “Lou, don’t ever be afraid of me. I’ll never hurt you again; I swear it on my life. I’m yours no matter what happens.” He watched her lick her lips and look down at her hands.

“Charlie, I love you. I’ve always loved you, but now it’s more than friendship.”

He put his fingers under her chin and moved her head so she looked at him. “Say it again.”

“I love you.”

Charlie felt his throat tighten and knew his eyes were filling up. “This is without a doubt the happiest day of my life, Lou,” he whispered. “I never thought I’d hear those words and the fact that they’re coming from your lips makes me want to act really goofy.” He laughed and cleared his throat. “Would you like to know something really stupid?” She nodded. He felt a tear roll down his cheek. He brushed it off and cleared his throat. “When I was little, I got to meet my grandmother. We spent the summer on her farm in Iowa. She was the only other person on the planet who ever said that to me.”

“Charlie, that’s not stupid.” She put her good hand up to his face and cupped his cheek. “I love you, Gran loves you and even Breaker loves you.”

“I love you, too. I was in love with you when we were kids and it’s never changed. You’ve always been my light at the end of the tunnel.” He looked at her sore wrist again and pulled the sleeve down. “Did the asshole hurt you anywhere else?”

Lark laughed. “Yeah. I’ll have another bruise on my chest and maybe one on my chin.”

“Babe, if I ever see him again, I’ll more than likely have to beat the shit out of him.
