"Well what ever happens babe, we're going to need some sleep ok?" he suggested.  He looks at her with eyes to penetrate her soul and send a divine message to it.  That message is his eternal love and affection.  "Do you want me to tuck you in?" he asked her smiling.  He grins at thinking of children with her.  He must have really been in love with her.  "I don't think I am in love with you anymore," he says looking for her eyes of hurt.  "I think it transcends love," he says to her, "I think I am past need."  He looks at her lovingly, but drowsily.  "I don't know what I am saying babe," he smiles, "let's go to bed baby."  He hugs her and kisses her neck gently.
