*Colleen had yearned to hear those words from Leith for so long, yet never let herself believe she would. She wished she could look into his eyes right now as she spoke the same words to him.* "I love you, too!"

*Leith could scarcely believe he heard right, yet here she was, holding him. Was it her or him shaking? Or perhaps it was both. Joy filled him, and he held her tight.*
"Leith!" *She spoke hoarsely.*
"Huh?"
"You're hurting me!" *She managed to croak as he squeezed the breath out of her.*
"Oh, sorry!" *He gasped as he imediately released her.* "Are you alright?"
*She giggled lightly as she reached to take his hand.* "I am."
*She smiled up at him, though her eyes didn't quite connect to his.* "I love you!"
*He gently squeezed her hand and reached out to caress her cheek.* "I love you, too."

"Now, why is it that you feel you must resign as my bodyguard?" *Colleen frowned. She trusted Leith. There was no one with whom she felt safer.*
*He tells her about how the beam was rigged with explosives, but leaves out the detail about the saboteur having a grudge against Skyler. Though she would probably hear about it from some stupid reporter, and he guessed it'd be better coming from him.* "I missed those explosives, because I was paying more attention to you. If I were doing my job, this would not have happened."

"Leith, don't beat yourself up like this! I don't want anyone else but you to be my bodyguard. I trust you. I always have, and I always will." *She reaches up, to touch her fingers to his face, though she had to search for it a bit.* "Please, don't resign."
*He kisses the palm of her hand.* "We can talk more about this once you've recovered. Right now, you should rest." *He leans over to kiss her forehead.*

"Please stay!" *She grasps his hand tightly, suddenly feeling overwhelmed, and does not wish to be left alone.*
"The doctor said only a couple minutes."
"Just hold my hand 'til I fall asleep," *She pleaded.*
"OK." *He said quietly, and then he pulled the chair closer and sat beside the bed. He held her hand and lightly stroke her head, brushing her hair from her face.*
*Soon Colleen's eyelids became heavy, and she slowly closed them.* "I love you, Leith."
*She slept.*
