She shuts the book with a thoughtful look that turns slowly upon the beautiful woman she loves. The journey isn't always easy, but it's always worth it in the end when soul mates finish life together. Tears sparkle in Kitty's brown eyes as she leaves the story she just read behind and thinks, instead, of the story she's living.

God knows her story with Ray hasn't been easy. Rachel's been taken from her too many times to count, and she wouldn't want to count them if she could. There's too much misery there to ever have to relive it again, though she's secretly fearful every day and night that time will again take away the woman she loves.

Kitty slips lower in bed, placing the book away. Her fingertips lightly brush over Rachel's fiery red hair and delicately caress her skin. They've been through too much, she thinks, to ever let an opportunity slip them by to love as they were born to, as they should, and as they always will. "Rachel, love," she whispers against the redhead's lips, "wake up. It's time again."

Rachel does so quite pleasantly, and they celebrate their love throughout the rest of the night.

The End
