#### The next morning while he was passed out in the chair by her bed, she got enough strength to make it to the bathroom by herself. When she came out, he was by the door and startled her making her trip over her feet, but he caught her and carried her to the bed. Her throat was feeling much better, but she didn't strain it by fussing over him carrying up. When he laid her in the bed, he didn't draw away and she didn't force him to move his arms from around her.

They stared long into each other's eyes. His then wandered down to her lips and she felt him edge closer.

"How do you feel?" he asked genuinely concerned.

"Fine." She cleared her throat. "I feel good."

The intenseness in his eyes affected her greatly, but she hoped he didn't notice and think her shivering was because the room was cool, when it was her body reacting to his proximity. How could she possible be thinking of making love to him at this point in time although the nurse said she was fine to carry on any usual activities? The nurse had even noted her boyfriend seemed very concerned about her well being and would need "comfort." She hadn't gotten over the idea of the nurse thinking she was his girlfriend let alone assure her she wouldn't be doing any "comforting."
