I had Bruno lay down and rest. I brought him his food, for he really needed to eat. "Just put it on the dresser." He pointed. I did as he requested. I was about to leave to clean up in the kitchen, but Bruno grabbed my hand. "Come here." He said. I sat beside him. He stroked my arm up and down. "What made you come back?" He asked. "A lot of things. Miriam thought it was right, my heart knew it was right, the baby, and the interview." I said. "Oh, you saw that, I was so serious, didn't think you were going to come back, I thought you were going to find someone else, love someone else." Bruno said. "As mad as I was, I couldn't get you off my mind. I couldn't love someone else if I still think about you." Bruno softly pulled me to him and he kissed me again. This time, straddling me on top of him. I curled my fingers with his and stared into his brown eyes. "I don't want to lose you again." Bruno said. "You won't." I bent over and kissed him. "Your lips are sweet as honey, deliciously sweet." "You know what is delicious? This chicken, it's getting cold." I got off of him and put the plate on his lap. "Eat up."
