"Your...your what?" Gillian asked shocked falling back on to the sofa.
"Princess you heard me." Ryan told her before sitting next to her and
turning to face her. "Look at me Gillian. You asked for the truth and
here it is, I'm in love with you... I never stopped loving you. When I
almost lost you in that accident I realized that I couldn't livewithout you."
Gillian was shocked. These where the words she had wanted to hear from
him for the last five months, and now here they where coming out of his
mouth.
"Ryan I .... I don't know what to say." Gillian finally managedto say.
"Well you could tell me what you are feeling right now."
"What I'm feeling?? Well shock comes to mind. I mean the man I love
tells me he wants to be with me..." Gillian started to say.
"Your still in love with me?" Ryan asked her.
"Ryan, are you nuts? I've never stopped loving you."
When Ryan heard her say this, he leaned over and pulled her toward him.
Their lips met and they began to kiss.
"I've wanted to do that for months." Ryan told her.
"So have I. Ryan what does this mean for us?"
"Well, I want us to start over, get to know eachother. What do you
think?" he asked.
"That sounds great." Gillian smiled at him. She still couldn't believe
this was happening.
"So, when will you be fully recovered and allowed to leave the house?"
"The doctors said a couple of days of rest but Edmund won't let me out
of his sight." Gillian complained. "It took me hours to get him to let
me out of bed."
Ryan laughed. "He's concerned about you."
"I know but watching TV all day sucks. Wait a minute, maybe if you told
him you would keep a close watch on me all night he'd let me out."
Gillian suggested.
"Keep a close eye on you? Hmmm... that wouldn't be too hard." Heteased.
