Marti and Jeremiah weren't kids any more, and to some, it might seem odd that they had fallen in love so soon after meeting.  Sometimes with age, comes an incredible wisdom, and knowing when certain things are right in life.  This was one of those times.  Besides, why waste anymore time being apart, when they had both been alone for entire lifetimes, separately.  They both had a new chance at life, and love, why shouldn't they grasp it, and hold on to it for dear life now.  This was, as the old saying goes, the first day of the rest of their lives.  A life of great happiness together.<br/><br/>As she snuggled in his arms, she had never felt more content, or happier in her life.  "What bones Darling?  I feel like a wet noodle.  I'm not sure I could stand, if I tried, so I'm quite content to lie here in your arms.  At some point, I'll use that tub and shower with you, and at some point, we'll need food, but right now, all I can think of is you, and the wonderful lover you are.  Not to mention how very much I love you!"<br/><br/>They lay there quietly, listening to each other's beating heart and quiet breathing.  She ran her fingers lightly over his arms that were about her.  "Jeremiah, did you ever expect to find such joy and happiness when you came on this vacation?  I didn't.  I expected to have a good time, but I never once expected<em>this</em>!  Don't get me wrong, I'm so glad we found each other, for now, our lives can begin in ernest."  Marti had never spoken truer words in her life before.
