Alex was grateful for the privacy Marley was giving them, looking back over to Rainey he steadied his nerves before talking. "Rainey I don't know if this is the right moment or not but I don't care. Seeing you laying there shot made me realize how short life can be."
Looking into her eyes he gave her hand a squeeze " Rainey I've loved you ever since we first met all those years ago when your mother took me in."
