She sat up with him, still on his lap and cocked her head to the side as she mulled over what he was saying.<br/>"Yes, that is what I want to give you. I want to be with you. More than anything else. It's a simple as that. I'll give you all the time in the world if you need it. If you say that I won't have to worry about you leaving me then I'll believe you" She wasn't used to giving herself so fully to someone, but it didn't feel hard with him. It was easy to put her trust in him.<br/><br/>Simply she made up her mind. Her logic was resolute, set in it's ways, it was her father's southern hand that had crafted her mind.<br/>"Then I won't leave you." She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips. 'Whew indeed' she thought. Taking a deep breath she looked at him long and hard. "So are we clear? We both want to stay together. Neither of us want to go. It won't be a walk in the park and it may be tricky to work out....but we will make it work" She leant against him, pushing her body against his, kissing and nibbling his ear lobe.
