Catherine smiled and touched William's face as he kissed her forehead.<br/><br/>With a sigh, she nodded when he said she had no need to apologize. "You are right yet again, Will. And I feel the same. I want us to enjoy every moment we have together.  We have waited for so long..."<br/><br/>Catherine looked up at William and once again she gave him her lips. He had her heart already, what was it to give him her lips? The kiss they shared made her heart beat faster, and she felt warm inside.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">I couldn't be happier</span></span>, she thought to herself. Smiling as he did, she laughed softly. It was so great to have him back, she wouldn't mind if he didn't court her at all.<br/><br/>"I am sure father will happily give us his permission as soon as he is back on his feet", she murmured softly. "And I also believe you should... we should see to a home for us. I believe we can prepare your current house. There is everything you need there, with the practice on the back. With a few minor adjustments - a new drape here, a new rug there - it could be simply wonderful."<br/><br/>She smiled and laid her head on his shoulder. "I would live under a tree with you, and still believe myself to be the happiest woman alive. I can't wait to be able to care for you, and see you every morning right as I open my eyes."
