She placed a kiss over his heart before she settled her cheek against his warm skin… closing her eyes to listen to the steady rhythm of his heart beat.
The gentle sound combined with her exhaustion worked quickly to lull her toward sleep, but before she could drift to dream - Colby’s voice carried through the moonlit room.
“For the record Cal, thank you for being here,” he said, honesty filling his words. “I shouldn’t have a chance in hell with a woman like you but here you are… with me when you don’t have to be.”
She raised her head, moving so she could look down at him and even in the dimly lit room he could see the fire in her eyes. “I don’t have to be but I want to be,” she smiled, returning his earlier words to him.
His own smile widened then as he reached up to kiss her softly. After, she looked at him for a long moment before she sighed, “Cal? No one’s ever called me that before.”
“Really? I’ll not call you that if you don’t like it,” he breathed, his fingers moving through her hair.
She smiled at him again before she resettled herself against his chest. “No… actually, I really like it,” she answered and again she kissed his chest before resting her head against him. “I like it because it’s only for you.”
He did nothing more than tighten his arms around her then, gently rubbing her back to help her find sleep in his embrace.
He knew tomorrow every thing would be different… his life would have new meaning because she was in it. She was the spark that started the fire he’d been missing… a fire that would keep on burning for as long as he had her. [ original post]
THE END.

Additional Author's Note: I just wanted to say thanks to every one who read this, for sticking with it until the end. When I wrote my first 100 word drabble for "Chemistry," I had NO idea this is what it would become. It's been a challenge, but a lot of fun and I thank you all for reading and for leaving lovely comments that feed the ego and the muse. I'd especially like to say thank you for accepting Callie as an OFC, knowing that particular point is always a tricky one in fan fiction. You are all amazing and I've loved sharing this and her with you.
