Presbyterian is one of the most coveted residencies in the country. I would have been a fool not to take it.”
    Disappointed in his answer her face fell, as she nodded. “Granted, I would have been mad. I would have argued with you, but if this is truly the best decision, then I would have wanted you to take it. But, you should have at least trusted me to talk to me about it first.”
    Cameron looked sheepish and apologetic. “You’re right. I should have trusted you and this is a decision we both should have made. So, you’re okay with it then? You’re willing to move to New York?”
    Cree hesitated for a moment before answering, “I hate this. I hate it even more that you just went off on your own. Cameron, you have to promise me that you won’t ever do something like this again. No matter how big a fight it might cause between us. Successful marriages don’t work that way.”
    “I promise. We’re a team.” He crossed his heart and gave her the Boy Scout salute.
    Resigned that in eight weeks, she would be a New Yorker, Cree responded, “Then, yes to both questions.”
    Cameron picked her up and twirled her around and around in circles. “I promise. You won’t regret this.”
    She didn’t know if that was true or not. Right now though, he held her in his arms, and she would trust that they loved each other enough to get through anything.
     

Chapter 6
     
    Eight weeks arrived faster than Cree would have liked. Before she’d known it, her entire life had been packed up in several boxes. Most of the furniture in her apartment had been ready for the garbage anyway and was trashed. There wasn’t much left after that, but what remained was stored in her grandfather’s garage or shipped to Cameron’s apartment.
    Cameron came home to attend their going away/graduation party and to take the train back with her to New York. Cree couldn’t imagine not needing her Kia, but Cameron said they wouldn’t so she stored it in her grandfather’s garage. She had already put her trust in him for the big decisions; it would be silly not to trust him with the little things too. She shivered slightly as she thought about packing up her life, and leaving everything and everyone she loved behind.
    Cameron pulled her body closer to his as he held her in the crook of his arms. The top of her head leaned against the bottom of his chin. He whispered while absentmindedly kissing her on the temple. “Are you cold? The train can get a little chilly especially at night.”
    He was right. It was a bit cool, but that wasn’t the source of her chill. The train sped along the tracks rocking in semi-darkness somewhat jerkily however, it was pretty quiet. Most of the riders were probably sleeping.
    Her hand rested lightly on his chest as she turned into the cocoon of his embrace intent on getting as close as she could. Cree spoke softly, “No. I'm all right; just thinking.”
    Cameron closed his eyes as he breathed in the coconut scent of her hair. It was always like a balm to his soul…comforting. It gave him such a feeling of peacefulness. After a moment, he spoke against the side of her temple. “Yeah, about what?”
    The warmth of his breath against her skin not only made it tingle but was also calming. Cree slowly exhaled. “I left everything behind today.”
    Cameron knew she was scared. Who wouldn’t be? But she didn’t need to worry. He made vows to take care of her and would do everything in his power to make sure she was happy. “Not exactly everything. I’m here. It’s us against the world remember?”
    She looked up into his eyes and gave him a shaky smile. “I do. That’s why I’m here with you.”
    “Good. I know leaving home was a big step, but I’ll take care of you. I meant it when I made that promise on our wedding day.”
    A half smile formed across her face. “We’re a regular old Bonnie and Clyde.”
    “And don’t you forget it.” He took her hand in his hand and kissed the tips. “A medical
