"Are you ashamed of me" he asked. Her heart broke that he could think that.
She rushed over and grabbed his hands in hers
" oh Fletch of course not. I'm worried that hospital gossip will tear us apart because of me, my past and my stupid pride and reputation. I panicked this afternoon."
"But you're you. You're Jac Naylor, you don't care what people think "
Jac shook her head " I care about this because I care about you." She took a breath " I love you and I don't want to risk anything ruining it but I suppose the cat's out of the...." her words were cut off as his lips crashed into hers.
"Jac I love you too. Have done for months - from before we got together but more now. That's the first time we've said that to each other. I think I worried that admitting that would scare you off and ruin things . What a pair!"
"What are we gonna do?"
" well first on the list would be to go back to mine because your daughter's there and I can't leave mine in charge all night much I'd love to spend the night here alone with you" he pulled her close and caressed her lower back
" Fletch?"
"Mmmh?"
" how long do you think you could leave Evie!"
"I'm sure another hour would be ok. What did you have in mind" he said teasing her
