I have the funds so I will pay for it,%u201d he told her.She pulled back slightly and looked up at him, her face wet with tears. %u201cYou would do that for me?%u201dHe nodded. %u201cI can%u2019t afford to lose my pretty front office person, now, can I? Look, lock up for now and come through to my house and I%u2019ll make you a cup of tea. We can phone some clinics to see who can fit you in quickly.%u201dThey sat in his living room. He had made several calls and found a clinic that would see her the next day. She was sipping tea and he sat opposite. %u201cI feel so scared and alone, Mr. Tucker. This has broken my spirit.%u201dHe thought about it and said, %u201cStay here tonight. I%u2019ll drive us in the morning and stay with you during the visit so you won%u2019t be facing this alone.%u201d%u201cWould you do that for me? That is so beautiful of you, Mr. Tucker. Do you really care that much for me?%u201d%u201cYou are a beautiful and intelligent person, Dawn. I want you to live. If the private clinic cannot help here, I%u2019ll look abroad.

This might just be another one. I know you have no family. Do you not have a boyfriend, someone to comfort you?%u201dShe shook her head. %u201cI tend to try and stay alone after the last one ill-treated me.%u201d%u201cWell, as I said, stay here tonight and we%u2019ll take the future as it comes, a step at a time.%u201dShe suddenly got up from her chair, walked over to him, and kissed him. %u201cThank you for being you.%u201dShe looked into his eyes. He could see she was thinking hard about something. And then what she said, stunned him. %u201cI%u2019ll tell you what, The Undertaker
