distracted.” He says softly into my ear. His warm breath makes me shiver. Reaching out he grabs the shampoo bottle and pours a small dollop in his palm. “Let me take care of you.” I pick my head up slightly and let him massage the shampoo into my scalp. His fingers manipulating all the tension from me. He scoots me forward a bit then leans my head back into the water and rinses the shampoo out. He repeats the process again with conditioner before grabbing the loofa, soaping it up and with gentle, deliberate strokes washes me toe to top. I can't remember a time feeling so adored or pampered ever before. When the soaps rinsed and I’m glistening with cleanliness Colin kisses my neck and hops out. Donning a robe he holds one out to me and helps me out of the tub.
“You’re improbable.” I state wrapped in the robe and his arms.
“What?”
“It’s not right. You’re too perfect. I don't know what I did to deserve you.” I ramble into his chest.
“Elle. You’re sexy, stunning, and kind. All roads in led us to each other. What’s improbable would be us not finding each other.” He kisses the top of my head and ushers me into bed.
Snugly tucked in under the covers he snuggles into me and kisses my temple. I breathe a sigh of relief, yet again, to be back in his arms, and let his steady breathing and the dull thump of his heart beat lull me to sleep.

     
     

COLIN

I open my eyes slowly. The sky’s still velvety dark outside. I feel a warm sleep heavy arm draped across my stomach. Her head on my shoulder, her face tucked into my neck. One arm slung across my waist and a leg wrapped around my leg. Her breathing heavy and steady. Elle. I close my eyes and drift back to sleep with my girl safe and sound in my arms.

I wake at eight and Elle is still asleep in my arms. I try not to stir too much because I don't want to wake her. She looks so peaceful and at ease. She probably needs the sleep. Waiting for her to wake up I memorize every freckle, line and divot of her face. She’s stunning and she's mine. Her lips part in the most adorable way when she sleeps forming a perfect little o shape and her breath quietly glides in and out hypnotically. Her long black lashes rest on her cheeks making her skin look creaming in contract. Her eyes fluttered open around nine. Two brilliant green orbs stare back at me.
“Were you watching me sleep? ” Her voice is still rough from sleep and it’s cute. The corners of my mouth twitch.
“So?” I challenge.
“That’s weird. I don't want you to watch me drool or snore or something else that might be horrific.” She chuckles.
“You do none of those things. Don't worry.”
“Uh huh, sure.” Her fingers grip the nape of my neck and pull my mouth to hers. We kiss lazily, just enjoying each other. “I have something for you.”
“Oh?” She asks one eyebrow cocking. I reach below me just under the bed and pull out the box I asked Jenna to bring up with her. Elle scoots up so her backs propped against the headboard as I place the box in her lap. Her fingers trace the top of the box lingering there without opening it.
“Well...” I prompt. She turns her head towards me and her green eyes shimmer with unshed tears. “What’s wrong?”
“I don't know. I just... you just do too much. I’ve been so alone for the last month, alone with my thoughts, alone physically...and now I’m not. It’s just an adjustment I guess.” I pull her tightly to my chest letting the box slip from her lap and land between us.
“Elle, It’s not too much, it’s never too much. I love you.” I push her hair over one shoulder exposing her collarbone and plant a soft kiss on it. She breaks our embrace and grinning takes the box and removes the lid. I watch as her expression changes from curious to disbelief to awe.
She pulls out the first item turning it over to make sure it’s the original. “You kept this?” I nod and smirk at her. She sets aside the first note I ever wrote to her and pulls
