Miranda had started to put her things away until Brettly started talking to her and he was making some valid points and asking a very important question, and he was the one who deserved an answer.  Miranda had spent so much time in the mountains that she had thought about a lot of things about Brettly, Thomas, and children.  Miranda went over to the chair that Brettly had sat down in and she moved his glass of scotch and crawled into his lap.  “I was in the mountains and I had no cell signal and I didn’t want to drive down every day to call you.”  Miranda sighed and continued, “It was wrong of me and it was a few of the things I thought about up there.”<br/><br/>Miranda moved her hand to behind Brettly’s shoulders and began to play with the back of his neck, rubbing it.  “Everything lately has been like a dream I have been having, one of those lives that I had always wanted to have.  For a long time everything you did was all about yourself and when Richard attacked me and left me to die I thought my life was over, that I was going to die knowing that even though during the last ten years things were better there were many times everything was still about you.”  Miranda started to say not even realizing that she talked about Richard.<br/><br/>“All of a sudden I almost die and wake up from a coma to the fact that 10 years of my life are gone and here you are and everything is all about me.”  Miranda started to cry.  “These last months have been wonderful and I have felt so loved, cherished, and special.  But I keep thinking that when I get all better things will just go back the way they were and it scares me.”  Miranda continued to talk as the tears fell down her face.  All the emotions from the day are just coming in at once.<br/><br/>Miranda moved to straddle Brettly’s lap and looked at him and leaned in to kiss him.  Miranda wanted to see how much passion they had between them still, she wanted to know he still desired her this way.  She thought after what happened with Thomas that she would pull away and not want to be touched, but to be honest she wanted to know that Brettly still wanted her and the feelings that were floating around about Thomas she wanted them to disappear.  Miranda started by kissing Brettly, running her tongue across his lips begging to allow her entrance.
