“You can do it later,” he stated

“No, I want to get it out of the way”

He turned to his side, gave e in his eyes and I noticed it in three specific parts of o to your indoor waterfall”

Those three specific parts of ht of a shoith Tor

“Five minutes, honey,” I replied just as softly “I’ll be done and we can shower”

He rested his head on his hand, elbow in the couch “What are you doing?”

“Making lists,” I answered, looking back down at my paper

“Lists of what?” he asked and I looked back at him

“Contingency plans” His eyebrows rose so I explained, “We don’t kno long we’re going to be here So, if we’re here awhile, like I was in your world awhile, there are things I have to do and things I don’t want you to“I have to go to the doctor, get the pregnancy confiret so I want you, Moo to the seafood place where Dad asked Moo every year for all our birthdays I want to take you for a drive down the coast so you can see all eous Since you’re interested in baseball, I want to take you to a Seattle Mariners gao over to Phoebe’s so she can make you one of her dirty uum so you can try –”

“Cora,” Tor cut in and my head came up

“What?”

“Put your list aside and come here,” he ordered

“Tor, I have to put this down on paper so I don’t forget anything”

“Put it aside and come here,” he semi-repeated

“Honey, you took time out in your world to show ive you what –”

“Love, put it down and come here” His voice was very firm and I’d been so intent on my list, I’dit now

I put the list down and went there

When I was stretched out full on top of him, he lifted both sides of my hair and held it at the back ofaround o back to your list in a second but when you do, you need to change it You need to list all the things you want to do, people you want to see, in order of priority Then ill do these things and see these people,” he told me

“But I want you –” I started but stopped when his head lifted and he brushed his lips against iving up everything for love, htened

Tor kept talking and he did it with that tender look in his eyes and a low rumble in his voice “You must fill the time you have left here with the people you want to see and places you want to be and I’ll experience your world through that I want you to have that You’ll need it And it will allow ether pass in ive that to you before you gave everything for me”

Tears suddenly and swiftly filled my eyes

God but God, I loved this man

“Baby,” I whispered as one slid down o of my hair and his thumb swept it away

“Now, kiss ether”
