"Speaking of this lovely office. You need something to help keep you grounded, even when I cannot be here."

She smiled softly and produced a framed picture from her purse. It was a picture of the two of them in Paris. She handed to him and smiled softly.

"There was also this. Ashlynn wrote it for you, and I had it framed."

She handed it to him, and smiled remembering what it said. It read as such:

"Hero

A Hero Fights For You
A Hero Stands By Your Side
A Hero Is Willing To Go An Inch Longer

A Hero Knows What It's Like To Lose Someone
A Hero Knows What To Do Right
A Hero Never Leaves Someone Behind

A Hero Has Someone To Make Them Who They Are
A Hero Will Never Risk Someone To Save Himself
A Hero Always Takes The Risk Just For The Last One

A Hero Stood For What's Right
A Hero Stood Up for my Mom
That Hero Is You."

She watched his face, trying to gauge his reaction to Ashlynns gift.
