She really should have expected it sooner. She should have expected him to say something that he'd already said to her, and it was the reminder - both a good and bad reminder, that he was the same man. He was the same man that'd only changed because of his circumstances.

She sobered just a little, still smiling. Her fingers twined tight with his, and she took his hand and pressed a kiss to the back of it. "Yeah, well. We're not going to talk about the things that Prince Charmings do for their ladies." She leaned forward, and kissed him then, her voice low. "I love you. And I've been swept since I was fifteen. It's never going to change, I will always love you."

She smiled, and really... there was nowhere she'd rather be than with him in that hospital room, letting all her worries pass her by, even if it was just for a little while.
