What was happening out there? Did she win? Puss and the Kitty Negro went out and probably are saying their goodbyes or whatever. I wince as I try to sit up. That Gato... I'll get him. No one defeats death. Death comes for them all. I come for them all. She comes back. I look up at her an anticipation. Her face was bruised slightly and her body smell scorched in embers. 

"Are you... okay? Mi amor?" I ask.

She sits down on top of me. I look up at her.

"It's over." She smiles.

I reach my hand out and I place it on her hand.

"You did good." I say.

"Yeah. I know. I'm still sorry." She says.

I kiss her right then and there. She jumps.

~!!!~

I was not expecting this. Don't get me wrong, this is probably the best kiss we've had in centuries. I move my hand onto her chest. This feels good. I feel so much better. Like the weight of the earth has lifted from my shoulders. He winces. 

"Sorry." I break away from him. 

I completely forgot he was hurt.

"It's fine, mi amor." He smiles.

He moves his hand up my back. I pull his coat off. I hug him and burry my head into his fur. 

"So soft..." I mutter.

"Thanks, mi amor. You can sleep now." He lies back.

I close my eyes. Sleep is better when someone you love is there.

"Are you going to be gone when I wake?" I ask.

"No. I promise, mi amor." He says.

"I'll see you then." I say.

"Buenos Noches." He says.
