Miranda was thinking about how Brettly was treating her now and she could see by the look on Thomas’s face that he was proud of Brettly and all of the changes that Brettly has made.  Miranda had so many questions about her time away and what had happened and no one would tell her anything.  She knew that Thomas would not tell her what happened to her, but maybe he would tell her about Brettly.  Miranda reached over and grasped Thomas’s hand and held it a little tight.  “What did Brettly do while I was gone?”  Miranda asked softly, “I heard things in the hospital and how he had been with me there, but what about before then?  How did he get through?”  Miranda hoped she would get some answers before Brettly got back; she just really wanted that closure.<br/><br/>“As for Elena you better scoop her up, Peter in accounting might get there first if you’re not careful.”  It was rather funny how Miranda seemed to know everything going on at the office and she didn’t even work there.<br/><br/>When he commented about telling Brettly about the paddle she could not help but swat his arm, “Don’t you even think of telling him that.  It was a joke.”  Miranda said with a pout.<br/><br/>Miranda kissed Thomas’s cheek back when he had come back to say good bye, “Bye, Tommy, Don’t forget what I said mister.”  Miranda said with a wink, and then could not help but smile when Brettly came back in.<br/><br/>Miranda moved up straighter in bed when Brettly came in with her food tray and set it down between her legs.  She could smell the food and thought it smelled wonderful.  “Thank you Bre, it smells wonderful.”  Miranda picked up her fork and took a bite of the salmon and chewed slowly.  “I have a glass of water on the side table.  That’s ok with me.”<br/><br/>Miranda reached out to take Brettly’s hand to pull him down next to her.  Once he was there she leaned over and kissed his cheek then placed her head on his shoulder.  “I love you, and I am sorry.”
