“Ok,” she said giving up the fight. “Just one thing before I go to sleep.”

            “All right,” I said.

            “Kiss me,” she said softly.

            I leaned down and kissed her softly. It felt so good to feel her lips on mine again. I missed it so much.

            I pulled back. “Ok,” I said, “now time to sleep.”

            Spencer just smiled at me before closing her eyes and falling asleep. I watched her sleep for a few minutes before falling asleep myself. She was right. I was exhausted. I haven’t slept hardly at all since she’s been gone. I love how she thinks about others before herself. She’s always making sure I’m ok. I love her.

            The next morning Dr. Turner came into Spencer’s room. “Excuse me ladies,” he said.

            I jumped and got out of the bed. “I’m sorry,” I said blushing.

            “It’s ok,” he smiled. “How are you feeling today Spencer?”

            “Better,” Spencer said.

            “That’s good,” he said. “I’ll be back later to check on you. Make sure you eat something and keep yourself hydrated.”

            “Ok,” she said. Dr. Turner walked out and Spencer looked at me. “You look better.”

            “So do you,” I said. “I hate to bring this up but I think the police are coming by today.”

            “Yeah,” she said. “I figured they would.”

            “Are you going to be able to talk to them?” I asked.

            “I think so,” she said. “I really don’t want to relive it.”

            “It’ll be ok,” I said caressing her hand with mine. “I promise.”

            She smiled. “If I didn’t have you,” she said, “I don’t think I would have fought as hard as I did.”

            I started to tear up. “I never lost hope,” I said. “I knew you would come back to me.”

            Spencer sat up in bed. She drank some water. “Do you want me to tell you what happened?”

            “I want to know,” I said. “But I’ll wait until you tell the cops. I don’t want to make you live through that twice.”

            “Ok,” she said.

            There was a knock at the door. We both looked over to see Arthur.
