Every single thing he said was heart felt and sincere. How had Marilyn gotten so lucky?
"Scars or not, you're easily the best looking guy I know...And I look older than I actually am. Are you calling me old?" She smirked at him then, reaching out to brush his face with her pale fingertips..."And I am feeling much much better...Thanks to you."
Rafe took her hand that was brushing his face. As much as he wanted this right now, right then, it wasn't right. She was still Carter's girlfriend and that was sticking to him in the back of his mind. Perhaps he'd matured, because last year he would have easily given in and he did. More than anything, he'd finally gained self-control.
"Yes, Marilyn, you're practically a maid and together we'll look like grandparents wondering the halls of Hogwarts," he teased.
"And I am glad you are feeling better, but I think it might be best if you got some rest. Plus, we have the rest of our lives to have moments like these," he said as he looked lovingly in her eyes.
