They sit inside and drink hot chocolate "no matter what I do, you always make me fall in love with you, again and again, over and over" she confesses as her cheeks turn rosy red "have I ever told you that?" She asks him "you have now" he smiles, the edge of his cheeks almost touching his ears.

She asks of him "No, people like that don't need a reason" he says as he looks into her eyes "I'm so happy it wasn't you" he says, she hugs him softly "thank you" she says barely above a whisper "for what?" He asks as he gently embraces her "for keeping me safe" she says and pulls back but he holds her close just a few moments longer then eases her back "it's my job, is it not?" He slyly asks as happy tears form in her eyes "yeah" she knods and looks down at his hands which have found their way back to hers...
