One month later...

I woke up in bed next to Harry the blanket hog. Sunlight was streaming into the hotel room from a slit in the curtains. I put my hand over my eyes and sighed when the sun was still seeping through.

Getting up I pulled a shirt on over my body. My rib cage was no longer protesting every little move and I was beyond thankful. Harry was still treating me like a porcelain doll most of the time, but it's okay.

"What are you doing Love?" Harry's voice soaked over me like melted butter. "Come back?"

Looking back over my shoulder at him I gave him a cheeky smile. "Just closing the curtains."

He leaned over the bed to see the clock and wiped his eyes

He leaned over the bed to see the clock and wiped his eyes. Groaning at the time he threw himself back on the bed. It was only after seven here in London.

Yeah, London. After I was released from the hospital I'd been pretty eager to get out of California. Gram seemed happy in her new place, and Macy sounded good when I talked to her one the phone for our scheduled call once a week. I'd let Emilia move into Gram's with her boyfriend while I was gone since she was looking for a place anyway. She insisted that she paid rent so I let her, but I was setting that money aside and only using what I was making at my new job.

I had accepted the position at D and H. They offered for me to write for their online blog. It was travel and lifestyle pieces. I loved everything about it. They were paying me well and they were paying for me finish my degree entirely online.

Now I just get to lay in my pj's and write about my fascinating travel adventures with Harry. He was always moving around and doing something creative. It was amazing and freeing.

"Are we busy today?" I asked as I rejoined him in bed.

"I have a meeting at noon and I was thinking we could grab lunch with my mum." He said casually looking my way. "If that's okay with you?"

"Meeting your mom?" I asked.

He nodded. "She'll probably embarrass me but I think you'll still love me when we leave."

I laughed. "I'd love to."

Harry rolled us in the sheets tangling our limbs together. He was over me resting his weight on his forearms on either side of my head. I just laid there admiring his face. I was such a lucky girl.

"I love you." He said pressing a kiss on my forehead making me melt.

"I love you." I smiled and tipped my head up to catch his lips with mine.

One of his hands slid down to cup my cheek and rub his thumb back and forth along my face. I parted my lips allowing him to deepen our kiss. His tongue danced with mine earning him a breathy moan as his hand slid around and teasingly squeezed my throat.

"Such a good girl." He winked at me making my heart skip a beat. "I've got to shower or I'll be late again today."

"Is that an invitation?" I leaned up nipping his lip.
