Alexandra blushed looking up into David's eyes. When his lips she smiled, remembering Paris, and his lips pressed to hers. She giggled softly, licking her lips to speak.

"Thank you David. It hasn't always been easy. But she is quite bright. She challenges me every day. I see so much potential in her that I feel like I am scrambling to keep up. She's told me that she wants to be a professor or a doctor."

She blushed remembering his words about her being a wonderful mother.

"Such beautiful words you speak David. I am just glad that I am still standing here, able to hold them. And that is because of you. Because of this."

She held their scarred hands up.

"You protected me."
