Chapter 65

After their love making, Michael got up and retrieved something from inside his clothes. Louisa just stood there, waiting.

"Shouldn't you give me this in the morning?" She asked, smiling.

"I'll give you something in the morning. But this, I think it is more romantic and I wanted to give it to you in private." He said.

Michael got back to bed, sitting on it, near Louisa, who was now sitting as well. She didn't bother to cover herself, for Michael was naked too. He handed a red, square box to her. Louisa looked at him before she opened it.

There were two cords inside. Each containing one half of a heart. On one half, the letter 'M' was seen, and on the other, the letter 'L'.

Michael took the string bearing Louisa's initial and placed it around his neck. Then he took the other one and got up from the bed, going behind Louisa and putting the cord around her neck.
