Alexandra wiped the tears from his eyes, kissing the tip of his nose before she wrapped her arms around him, crying onto his shoulder. Her ribs hurt, but she'd never let him know. She wasn't angry with him, not at all.

"It's okay David... David.. My darling love.."

She rubbed his back with her hand.

"David, I'm here... come what may..."

She looked into his eyes.

"You'll manage to control it, more and more."

She adored him more than she could ever express in words. She fell more and more for him with every moment.
