_Henry's POV_

That day, we lounged around; snuggling and making love in just about every corner with Jo's house. We laid down on her couch, and she fell asleep on top of me; not snoring, but blowing out cute little puffs of air. I stroked her head, and peered down at her lovingly. -She just told me she'd marry me after five days of sleeping around.. She didn't appear to be joking, and I don't know what to think about it. I do care very deeply for her.. She's my best friend.. and I resent Abigail and I not having more time as a young, married couple.. I don't want to wait that long with Jo. "Think, Henry. Asking her to marry you this early on in your relationship would be absurd," I thought. "Then why are you even considering it?" I wondered. She soon stirred awake, and peered down at me sleepily. "Hi," I smiled. "Hi," she replied. "Were you joking earlier?.. About being willing to marry me this early on in our relationship?" I asked. "I.. I think part of me was.. And part of me wasn't.. I know it's stupid, but I really.. I really love you.. I'm not getting any younger, and I didn't think I'd find love again.. I guess I've been kind of desperate.. Without even knowing it," she admitted. "This is the first time in 30 years I've let anyone else into my life.. and I love you, Jo.. I just don't want to rush into things. I mean.. We don't even really know what it's like to live alongside each other.. Or anything of that nature.. You just broke up with your significant other because he was moving too quickly.." I yammered on. "We broke up because I love you," she interjected. "Isaac knew too.. He's seen the way I've looked at you.. Fawned over you.." she trailed off. I pressed my lips against hers, and kissed her passionately; flipping us over. "Move in with me," I whispered; entering her slowly. She exhaled deeply and shut her eyes.

_(1 Month later)_Jo's POV_
"Good morning Dear," Henry whispered; kissing my neck softly. I stretched my limbs out, and relaxed in his arms. "Morning," I replied groggily. After two weeks of hesitation, I moved in with him, and so far, I've been happier than I've been in a long time; spending virtually every minute of every day with him. Without prior warning, I crawled on top of him; coming down on his morning wood, and he moaned. Henry was straddling me hard under the covers when Abe came in; covering his eyes. "Poached or scrambled?" he asked. "Poached please," he replied; not pausing for a second. I listened to the bed creak under us, as they carried on with casual conversation. He's gotten used to walking in on us, and just covers his eyes. Henry picked up the pace; making my back slam against the wall, and Abe shut the door; making his awkward exit.. This is how most of our days start now.
