Dream Lovers (Part V)

Mat and Hannah were released from the hospital and were told to take a few days off from work until their bodies could completely heal. Hannah's parents stayed for a couple days to make sure she was okay and then headed back to Oregon. Mat called her frequently to check on her. As soon as her parents left she picked up the phone and called him.
" Hello"
" Hi, Mat. This is Hannah."
" Well, hello there Hannah. It's funny that you called. I had the phone in my hand getting ready to call you."
" Looks like I beat you to it."
" How are you doing today?"
" I'm doing good. I thought maybe you could come over and we could go to the park and get some exercise."
" Sounds good to me. I'll be right over."
" Okay, I'll see you in a little bit. Bye."
" Good-bye."
He was happy that she had invited him over. He hadn't seen her in a few days and he missed her. All he could think of was seeing her pretty face again. All he wanted was to be with her. She felt the same way. It was strange that they hardly knew each other but were drawn to each other like magnets. She knew in her heart that he was the one that she had been waiting for all of her life. She only hoped that he felt the same way about her.
She had no reason to worry. He felt the same way. She was the one that he was searching for. He knew it when he stared into her tear soaked eyes on the night of the accident. God had intended for her to come into his life. He believed that with all his heart. They were meant to be together.
He pulls up to her apartment complex to find her waiting on her doorsteps. He walks up and holds his hand out to pull her up. They stand and stare into each other's eyes as they continue to hold hands. They were happy to see one another. Both of them felt emptiness when they were apart. Now they felt whole again. He smiles at her and says," I've missed you."
" I've missed you too."
" I know that you might think I'm crazy for saying this but I am going to say it anyway." He stares into her eyes for a few seconds and then with a little nervousness,
" I'm in love with you, Hannah. I know that we haven't known each other long but I know in my heart how I feel about you. I can't help it. I love you!"
She smiles as a tear falls down her cheek. She thought that she was the only one who felt that way. She couldn't help it either. She puts her arms around him as she lays her head on his shoulders and replies,
" I'm in love with you too, Mat. I have been since our accident. I thought that I was the only one who felt that way."
He pulls her away so he can look into her eyes and smiles," Are you saying that you love me too?" She laughs and replies,
" Yes, Mat, that's what I am saying. I love you!" He takes her in his arms and slowly puts his lips on hers. He felt that if he had to be frozen in time. This was the moment he would pick. He could hold her in his arms forever.
After their embrace, they head to the park. As they walk alone, hand in hand,
Hannah feels something." Ouch! That hurts!" She squats down and grabs her foot." Mat squats down beside her and asks, " What's wrong?" She looks at him with a grimace and replies," I felt something stick in my foot!"
He helps her sit in the grass and takes her shoe off. He looks at her foot and examines her shoe and replies, " I don't see anything. Maybe you just pinched a nerve or something." She shakes her head and says, " It felt like something stuck me but now it is gone. I don't know what it was."
She smiles at him and continues," My prince can put my shoe back on." He smiles and bends over and kisses her. He felt like he was a prince when he was with her and she was his princess. He puts her shoe back on and helps her back up. They spend the rest of the day strolling in the park.
