THE WEDDING DAY

Early the next morning, Kendrick woke up to the soft light filtering through the curtains. His eyes fluttered open, and he was teary-eyed when he saw Amelia sleeping peacefully beside him. The sight of her brought a rush of emotions. Gently, Kendrick removed the IV attached to his wrist and couldn't help but pull Amelia into his arms, which awakened Amelia.

"You're awake? How do you feel?" Amelia asked, her voice still groggy from sleep.

"Amelia, Honey, please don't ever leave me again," Kendrick said, his voice breaking as tears welled up in his eyes once more.

"I'm sorry. I promise I won't leave you again," Amelia replied, her heart aching as she wiped away Kendrick's tears with tender fingers.

"Amelia, I miss you so much," Kendrick whispered, his voice filled with longing. Kendrick leaned in and kissed Amelia deeply, pouring all his love and yearning into that kiss. The couple made love, their bodies and souls reconnecting as they expressed their longing for each other.
