“Hi,” I croaked. My throat was still sore from the
breathing tube they’d put down during surgery.

“Hey, beautiful,” he said with a dazzling smile. “How
are you feeling?”

“Euphoric,” I told him.

“There you go with the big words again,” he said. “Are
you sure you’re not an English major?”

“I don’t know why I’m not,” I said. “Speaking of
words, before I came into surgery you said a few to me…”

He leaned in close to the bed then and kissed me on my
lips that had to be hard and dry and then he said, “I love you Molly.”

“Those were the words I was looking for. Does it seem
a little desperate that I’m wearing a gown split up the back and lying in bed
when I ask you to say it?”

He laughed again. “I think you’re still feeling the
juice,” he said.

“Maybe a little,” I admitted. “But mostly, I’m feeling
the love. I love you, Brock,” I said.

Then I closed my eyes and drifted off again. I don’t
know how much time passed, but I felt Brock’s warm lips on mine again. I smiled
and said, “My prince.”
