"Okay ill talk to you later i am going to talk to you. " He spoke softly kissing her cheek turning and walking away slowly. He continued to walk slowly as he entered the medical room taking a deep breath standing in the door.
Annabelle sat doing a few things in the sick bay when he heard some footsteps behind her. She turned and looked at him and before she turned away and said "If you've come to yell at me some more you can go away" she said.
Stephen stepped into the room and closed the door setting down on the table she used to operate. "Well, i actually need your help... is there a surgery you can perform to pull my foot from my mouth? "
"I am sorry for snapping at you. I ... You had been so against me and Elise that ... when you walked in on me i expected you to get angry with me. I should not have avoided you but ... I really do love Elise and well I was scared. " He spoke softly staring into Annabelle's eyes his fingers twitching nervously on the table.
"You have nothing to fear from me. I would never hurt a woman ... Ever ... " He spoke softly smiling looking into her eyes. "Besides... if i hurt you i would certainly lose Elise and i can not do that. " He chuckled softly playing with her.
Annabelle looked at him and smiled a little as he chuckled. She then turned and looked into a cupboard and pulled out a small box. She tossed them at him and said "Those should last you awhile...unless your some sort of animal" she said.
"Oh but Annabelle its Elise!" He smirked putting the box into his pocket turning to leave the room. "Thank you your blessing means a good deal to both of us. "
He opened his mouth wide then huffed pouted and turned to walk away. Lingering a bit longer then he normally would as he crossed his arms and started to stop away.
