Cait returned the kiss. This time it wasn't demanding or hard, but soft and tender and full of love. I love you. She shifted a little to break the physical connection of their bodies and then rolled to one side of him.

She put her head in the hollow of his shoulder and put a hand on his chest. His heart beat under her hand and she could feel the steady, but quick, rhythm.

He's more relaxed now than he just about ever gets, mostly still, letting her adjust to get comfortable.

I love you.

Cait smiled and dropped a kiss on his neck. A very content sigh escaped her as she lay in the warmth of his arms. It was a perfect moment and Cait etched it in her memory.

For good or ill, he remembers everything. And this is definitely one of those rare, perfect memories, to be recalled in detail many times later. "You should get some sleep, love."

Cait yawned. "I think you're right," she said before yawning again.

He reaches out to help gently ease her mind and help her sleep soundly, content to stay in bed, watching and listening to her sleep tonight.

Cait will quickly drift off to sleep in the safety and warmth of his arms.
