She reached out and took his hand. "What, honey?"

He smiled. "I like when you call me honey and when you tell me that you love me, as I love you. But the way that I feel for you means that I…I don't ever want to let you go."

"What are you saying, Bilal?"

"I was only given five years with you, to study you and our child. But I want more than that. I want forever with you." He looked down and closed his eyes.

Her hand tightened over his. "If…if that's at all possible, then I would be the happiest woman on earth."
