Love, Me

     After Dr. Talbert left the room, Jeremy and Lizzy simply held on to each other. Lizzy began sobbing on Jeremy's chest. "Sweetheart whats with the water works?" asked Jeremy in a soothing tone. "I lost the necklace you gave me," Lizzy finally said. Craddling his beloved, Jeremy told Lizzy not to worry. "It's alright honey, it needed some work to be done." Lizzy felt her blood heat up. "That bastard broke my necklace!" It took a few minutes for Lizzy to calm down. "You know I'm glad that the guy isn't around. I hate to see what you would do to him," joked Jeremy. Lizzy chuckled and stayed in Jeremy's arms. When Lizzy's breathing quieted down Jeremy saw that the pain medication was starting to take affect. He gently laid Lizzy's head on the pillow.

     After making sure Lizzy was comfortable Jeremy went back to the apartment. He called his uncle and aunt and told them how Lizzy was doing. "We're glad that Lizzy is doing much better," said Mike. Lori picked up the other phone. "Have you proposed to her yet?" asked Lori with an anxious tone. Jeremy laughed and said, "Not yet aunt Lori. I'm gonna spent my time seeing that Lizzy's physical therapy sessions are going the way it should be. Then I want to make sure all the furniture and appliances are already set up. That is as soon as I can call the store and have them move up the delivery date." Mike spoke up at that moment. "Just take care of Lizzy Jeremy. Your aunt and I will handle the ranch." After a few more minutes Jeremy hung up the phone and decided to take a nap before returning to the hospital.
