"Always," He said, bringing her up into his arms and kissing her deeply. He held her tight against him, not afraid of hurting her anymore, and stood up, taking her with him. He carried her over to the bed, "You'll need to sleep again soon," He said, breaking the kiss for a moment. "Don't worry, this time it's because you're recovering, not because you're wounded. When you wake up again you'll be better than ever." He fell backwards, ending up with her lying on top of him, their lips locked together again. Finally he pulled back, breathing heavily. "I told you I would never let you leave me again."
