“Yes, there is.”
“You are worthy. And even if you somehow weren’t, it wouldn’t matter, my love for you wouldn’t change. But you are more than worthy, if anything you need someone better than me.”
Daniel hesitantly wrapped his arms around her, stopping. “I need you Rex. I love you and you are important to me. And I couldn’t do better. There is no one else I’d rather be with.”
“Good. I’m sorry, for everything.”
Helda watched him fall asleep. He seemed so tired, he really had been worried. How awful she had been to him, and yet he still seemed to love her.

“I think so. With you here, I am.”

She went with him gladly, happy to be at his side again.
“Ok. I still feel bad that it was a choice you made because of what I was doing. But it wasn’t just my fault, I’ll accept that.”
“A couple miles, are you ok to walk that much?” He seemed to grow ashamed.
She smiled hesitantly back. “There’s a lot of reasons, you just ignore them.”
“You reminded me…after all that time gone I had forgotten why I loved you. But I remember now.”

He stroked her hair gently. “And I love you, so very much.”

“Can we stay here, please? Just for a little longer.”

Daniel blushed too, then smiled back. “So what all will you need me at the hospital?” @Just-A-Stick
