I put the computer in the backseat and shut the trunk. Grabbing my jacket I threw it over the back of the front seat. I sat in the front seat and dug in my pocket for the keys then drove the SUV back onto the road and down the path that led to gate. I leaned over and opened the door for Keith.
Keith slowly slid into the seat and winced as he did do. He reclined his seat and then shut the door. I leaned over and kissed him softly.
"Is the painkiller helping?" I asked.
"A little how's your hand?"
"Not bothering me too much." I looked at him. "Are you going to be okay?"
"Of course, I'm a Marine, built tough remember?" He reached over and placed his hand on my face, with his thumb he stroked my cheek. "I'll be fine, don't worry, sweetheart."
"I know...it's just I was worried when you said there was a bomb and then when the explosion happened…I just kept hoping you had made it out in time. I was scared as hell as I ran to the building and then looked around. I was so relieved when I saw you." I turned off the dirt road and back onto New Hampshire Road.
"I know, I was worried too, but there was no way I wasn't going to make it to our wedding. I got out of there as fast as I could." He winked at me.
