Penny smiled, and said softly "Oh, this really, truly feels like a little slice of heaven.  Held in your arms and dancing . . . "

He smiled. "Good, you deserve all the heaven you can get with the hell you had to go through." He continued to hold her tight as they danced.

  Penny smiled, and tugged him down for a kiss that was in no way chaste, and promised him things that he knew would rock his world when the time came.

Jack lifted one hand to carress her face as she kissed him. {{Your worth waiting for.}}

  She threaded her hand into his hair, and whispered {{When . ..  when the time comes . . . when I am ready . . .I promise . . .love . . . you will not be sorry.}}

"You take all the time you need Penny. Your worth waiting for, and this is still nice." He whispered in her ear as they continued to dance together. "You ready to eat?"

  Penny slowly let the kiss break, and said "Yes, I'm ready to eat.  This night just feels magical so far, you know?  Like we're getting wishes granted."

"This is a night we'll never forget." He said as he took her by the hand and led her off the dance floor and back towards their table holding out her seat before taking the one across from her.

  Penny smiled, and said happily "It is a wonderful one.  You and I and the music and the food.  I keep expecting the shoe to drop.}}

"Just focus on the moment between us, and trust that I'll protect you from anything gone wrong." He said as he stroked the back of her hand with his thumb.

  Penny smiled, and said softly "I am. But did we remember to ask the waiter to cut my steak up for me?"

"If not, I can always do it for both of us. I don't mind."

  Penny smiled, and said softly "Thank you.  You are so sweet to me, Jack.  I am so damn lucky you found me."

"We're lucky we found eachother Penny. If I didn't have you, everything that happened, the torture, my mother, it would have broke me. YOU gave me a reason to press on."

  She smiled, and said softly "By ourselves, we are weak.  Together, we are strong."

He smiled at her. "Indeed we are. And its our love that makes us strong."

  Penny smiled, and said softly "Our love makes us strong.  Together."

"Together forever. Till death do us part." He smiled at her letting go of her hand so he could start eating.

  She could eat salad one handed, and she was.  Holding his hand with her other.  She didn't want to let go of his hand.  It felt too good.

Finding his hand being held hostage Jack relented and also began eating his salad with one hand.

  Penny giggled between bites, and told him, mentally {{You're so sweet, what with what I put you through.}}

He smiled at her as he continued eating. {{How could I not be with a girl like you? And after all we had to deal with having to eat with one hand is a walk in the park."

  Penny smiled, and said "I love you.  Time spent with you is always well spent."

He brought her hand to his mouth kissing it gently. "Theres no place I'd rather be right now, then here, with you."

  Penny smiled, and said "I think that goes both ways.  I'd never want to be away from you, no matter what.  And with you, I am strong enough to endure anything."  She caressed his cheek lovingly.
