"I guess we could start dating."

"Yea but I want to take it slow Al; I've rushed into all of my relationships."

"I think that's a great idea Dane."

"I know I want to court you Alice."

"Really, I'd love that.

"Okay"

The two of them cuddled on the sofa, both were in heaven. They wanted this moment to last forever. They felt so free, lying there together, body, mind and soul. Dana suddenly looked at the clock.

"Wow it's all but six; I should home and get some sleep."

"Dana?"

"Yea Al?"

"Stay and lay here with me, I don't want this feeling to end."

"You bet Al."

The two fell asleep in each others arms. They were enjoying the best sleep of their lives. Nothing felt so right for them. They were finally starting something after all these years. Years of hidden love rushing out. They didn't know how their friends would take it but they knew they would support them. This was truly the beginning of something wonderful.
