He kept a soft smile as he gently kissed her head, keeping his tight wrap around her. "There.. No more 'what-ifs', no more 'buts', no more 'eventually', just us and the kids..", he said softly, closing his own eyes.

She slept peacefully, worn out from the emotional tax that had accosted her from thinking about her exploits.


(What if a new secretary is hired at his office and she keeps trying to flirt and cause trouble after her first few months there?)

He fell asleep as well, remaining comfortably around her, making sure that he covered every ounce of her body with himself.


(And there you go, adding another interesting twist to the story xP)

(Interesting fact, staying close with someone (like cuddling or hugging, perhaps even napping together.) for 15+ minutes makes a person's trust levels increase automatically.)


She stayed comfortable and close for the remainder of the evening.

(Huh, very interesting indeed)


He kept a soft smile as he snored quietly, remaining asleep.

"I surely hope so.. Especially since last night.." He sat up quietly, staring at the ground.

 

[No More Pretending]

"It's in the past," she murmured. "But now you know my dirty little secret."

He shook his head, "It doesn't matter to me.. As long as you're still here I can care less about it.."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and kissed his cheek.

He smiled softly, "I'll always love you Elizabeth.. I promise.."

 

[No More Pretending]

"And I'll always love you," she whispered.
