The Cowboy and the Mermaid
Lorelei and Dwight make it to her house. They are both exhausted. Lorelei asks Dwight to spend the night. "I really don't want to be alone."
"No problem," Dwight tells her, "I can sleep on the couch."
"No, you can sleep in the bed with me, but, no hanky panky til we get married." Lorelei peeks up at him. "Is that ok with you?"
"Yes, I can respect that, but, we better get married soon my lovely Lorelei. Maybe tomorrow would be a good day."
Lorelei giggles, "Tomorrow might be a bit soon, but maybe the day after."

As he releases her, Lorelei nods, blushes and pulls him back to her for more kisses.

Lorelei is still upstairs so he fixes a light meal for them. He is so tired, but doesn't feel it anymore. His heart is singing. He is so happy that Lorelei will be his lovely bride in two days. He hums and sings while he is cooking.
Lorelei comes down and he calls her to the meal. "I made comfort food, grilled cheese sandwiches, and I added the little anchovies I caught as I know you need fish in your diet as well as the kelp."
"These are delicious! You know, if I didn't already love you, I would love you for your cooking!" Lorelei grins at him.

"I love how you do so many things that show you love me, even when you are not saying the words. I always feel that love even when you are not here with me."
