*Shayne*

Was I hearing things? Was this all a wicked dream that would crush me when I woke from it?

"C-Courtney?"

The vulnerability in my own voice made me cringe, but in that moment I couldn't care less.

"I-I love you Shayne," she tried again.

Tears accumulated in my eyes, and I realised that the one final piece of the puzzle that was Courtney Miller had been put in place.

To say her voice was amazing was an understatement. It was angelic, enticing, harmonious and melodic, just to name a few adjectives. I could have talked about her voice for hours on end, even elaborating on the simplest things such as the very volume of it, as well as the lack of monotony she possessed when annunciating. Every syllable made my ears reverberate with pleasure, and I was left both anticipating and desiring more. The way her lips curled and straightened as she spoke drove me over the edge, making her all the more attractive, and her cheeks shallowed after a consonant, before filling again with her vowels. I would learn to treasure each and every sound that ejected from her mouth in the future, but for now, all I could do was ogle at her unmatched, goddess-like, perfectionistic beauty, as well as the soothing, mellow radiance of her lilting voice.

After a few more seconds of sheer astonishment, I could no longer refrain my joy, and so I leapt forward and pressed my lips against hers.

"I love you too, so much," I cried.

Courtney smiled slightly and feebly laced her fingers in my hair, pulling me closer. We deepened the kiss, and in that split-second frame I was sure it was the happiest I had ever felt.

In the subsequent moments our lips parted, but our foreheads remained connected, as did our noses.

"Your... Your voice is beautiful," I warbled.

Courtney smiled with a sleepy countenance, "Thank you."

Her voice was beautiful, but admittedly, still very raspy, and so I gripped her hand as she broke down into a fit of coughs.

"Shh, shh, get some rest baby," I suggested.

Courtney smiled again and silently thanked me, before closing her eyes. I quickly summoned the nurse to make sure everything was okay, and as the usual procedures commenced, I simply smirked at my sleeping girlfriend. She was more perfect than I ever could have realised.
