(2 months later)
I watched Keavy struggle with a biology problem, her teeth biting at the soft skin of her lips, her nose scrunched up and her eyebrows knit in a look of intense concentration. I loved watching her, I would often sit and watch her as she typed away on her computer trying to finish a term paper or report.
She was one exam away from graduating and starting her residency and I was so proud of her, true to her promise she had taken a job to pay for school, she worked at a drug abuse center as a night receptionist and more often then not she would race home from an all night shift, shower, kiss me good morning and run to her class. It was hard because we didn't get to spend alot of time together but if this was her dream then I would not stand in her way.
The media was cruel to us in their coverage. The headlines shouted out that Meiser McLean Forces Immigrant Girlfriend to Work. We stuck together and got through it, we knew the real thruth and that was all that mattered to us. I would be leaving in less then 2 weeks, 3 days after Keavy started her residency I would leave her. It pained me to know that I wouldn't be there to celebrate with her, to rub her shoulders after a long and tiring shift or to sit in a hot tub with her, washing away her worries as we talked.
I was sacrificing precious moments being away from her and it was tearing me up.I had to be strong, not show her how afraid I was of losing her, of missing her. I walked over to her and placed my hands on her shoulders, massaging and working on the knot that had taken them hostage.
"Aww Yank you have magic hands, now I know why I keep you around?" Keavy moaned and teased me as my hands kneaded deeper into the knot.
I smiled and whispered "The answer is hemoglobin"

"It's her first day, I want to make sure that I am home before she gets home." Howie and I were fighting traffic trying to get to my house before Keavy got home. She had been on the phone with her mother for over 2 hours last night and when she got off she was even more flustered then when she had called. I was not used to seeing her so upset, so unsure of herself. She didn't say a word to me as we lay in bed, she just stared up at the ceiling, when I kissed her goodnight she didn't return my kiss and when I woke her up this morning she got dressed and walked out without saying goodbye. I was worried about her.

"YANK!! ALEX.....SEXY ASS" I was upstairs getting changed when I heard her screams. I ran out of the bedroom and met her half way up the stairs "Baby, what is it?" I asked worried.
"It was wonderful Alex, oh my god I felt like a real doctor, I did rounds today" Keavy was talking a mile a minute, her accent growing thicker the more excited she got, her cheeks flushed, her hands motioning wildly.
I broke out into a huge grin and took her hands in mine "Emerald I am so excited, so happy for you, god you had me worried but you need to take a deep breath, baby you are going to overheat."
Her arms flew around my waist and she embraced me tightly "It was wonderful Alex, just wonderful. I cannot believe this is all coming together for me."
I kissed the top of her head and smiled, everything was going according to plan. All of our dreams were coming true.
"And by the way" she whispered "If I am going to overheat its because of what you are wearing, or should I say what you aren't" I looked down and grinned. In my haste to answer her screams I had neglected to finish dressing. I stood in front of her wearing only a wife beater and nothing on the bottom half of my body.
"Wiseass" I whispered as I kissed her.
