A bit of story:
____________________________________________

Helen woke up a few days after her surgery to find her friend Kerri sitting by her bedside.

"Kerri...what brings you here?" "I heard about your surgery and I wanted to see you. What other reason could I have for coming?" "Right sorry, I'm still a little groggy..."

They shoot the breeze for a good half an hour, until Helen notices that Kerri has been a little red in the face for a while.

"Everything ok Kerr? You look a bit flushed." "O-oh...I'm just fine..." "Don't lie, I know when you're hiding something." "I-I was just thinking...about us..." "Oh?"

Kerri takes a deep breath and begins,

"Well I was doing a lot of thinking the past few days, of all the time we've spent together. We met under some strange circumstances, but somehow we forged a strong friendship. The more time we spent together the more I realized I was at my happiest when I was with you; the days we spent hanging out are days I've treasured the most."

Helen could see where this conversation was heading, a blush forming on her face. "Kerri..."

Kerri continues, "Ever since the day we met, you've been a pillar of support for me. I've done things I never dreamed I could do, and whenever I was at my lowest, you were right there to pick me up. When I'm with you I feel so...alive! I guess what I'm trying to say is...well..."

Helen sits up, looking at Kerri with awe. "K-Kerri...are you...?"

Kerri gives a shy smile, "Helen...I love you..."

A picture Gilan drew of what would become one of our favorite couples, showing my girl Kerri confessing to his girl Helen. I thought it was kinda cute so here it is, with what I can remember of the story of how this whole couple started.

Art and Helen belong to Gilan
Kerri belongs to me
