"Abbey…Abbey…come on sweetheart open your eyes."

Abbey opened her eyes to see Jed sitting at he bedside. "Jed what
happened? I thought you were dead. Leo said that you were dead."

"What!? What are you talking about?"

"I… what happened? Where am I?"

"You are in a hospital. You were shot and just got out of surgery." Jed
answered as he took her hand in his.

"I was shot! I thought…" She looked down at her hand expecting to see
them blood stained but there was no blood. She placed her hand back into
her husbands and held it tightly.

"You thought what?"

She turned her head and looked into his eyes. "Nothing, it must have all
been a dream. I glad your with me. I thought you were dead."

"Dead! No, I am not dead yet and I will never leave you. I love you too
much to do that." Jed replied as he leaned down and kissed her
passionately on the lips. She knew then that she was safe. Jed was there
and she was safe it was only a dream. She knew that without a shadow of
a doubt.
