John was beginning to panic. Ten minutes had passed, and Marlena still hadn't responded to him. "Doc, if you can hear me, squeeze my hand." he said pleadingly. Marlena squeezed it hard as she eased her eyes open slowly. John breathed a sigh of relief before giving her a light kiss. "Doc, you scared me." he said with a nervous laugh. "Are you ok?" Marlena nodded. "I think so," she said, taking John's hand and rising slowly. Suddenly, she groaned. "Oh, my back." she cried softly as she leaned into John's shoulder. "Should we go to the hospital?" he asked. The concern was evident in his eyes as he hugged her. Marlena shook her head and smiled bravely. "No, no, I'm sure it'll pass." she replied before giving him a light kiss. He returned it with a nod. "If you're sure." he said after he'd pulled away. "Are you still up for dessert?" She nodded, flashing him a soft smile. "Of course." she replied as she let him lead her into the dining room. Before she could sit down, though, she heard the gentle introduction to "Faithfully" coming from the living room stereo. She turned toward the sound as she heard John ask, "May I have this dance, Doc?" She nodded, smiling warmly as she stepped into his arms. As they danced, she felt an incredible sense of peace wash over her. This moment confirmed what they already knew. They were meant for each other, and that would never change.
