Nope, Fallon was not sitting back in that spot. The temptation to kiss him again would prove to be too much, and the next thing they knew he'd be hollering in pain. She knew Malou would be amused to learn of the kiss, but any amusement would die if Fallon caused him any regression to his healing.

Despite his insistence otherwise. Fallon didn't believe he was fine. Just yesterday he had recounted his very long list of injuries, none of which appeared to be perfectly healed. "I should probably go anyway," she smiled sadly. "Don't want to press our luck." The last thing they needed was their bubble to be popped (again!) by a nosy nurse.

She lent down and gave him another soft kiss, only this time she pulled away before he could react as he had. "Can I visit again tomorrow?"

  

Disappointed by her refusal, Jess pouted playfully as she remained resolutely standing beside the bed. "Unfortunately that's the rational decision to be made " One of them should be the responsible one after all.

The quick kiss was too short for him to reel her in again and then she was out of his grasp. He made a noncommittal noise of approval and nodded. "I'll be here." He wasn't going anywhere any time soon. "Thanks for the snacks and the company."
