I get up off the floor, deciding someone best sit with Kim in case she got to unnerved by what was going on and didn't know what was happening.

"She's got no one left in the world now." I say softly, looking at Kim.

"She has you." I say quietly, not looking at Izzy.

"She barely knows me." I say quietly, looking down at the floor then back up at Ian and Kim.

"She talks about you." I say, still looking at the floor, forcing a weak laugh, "It used to really annoy Gid...I could get her to talk sometimes. Trying to teach her my name...she still can't say it properly. But I'd get her to talk sometimes and he'd pretend not to listen but...she gave this...this perfect description of you once. She knows who you are."

"I wouldn't have thought she would have." I say, almost managing a smile as i looked at Kim's face.
But, if i looked after her. It would just be another permanent reminder of Gid.

I look at the floor, "You don't have to take her if you don't want. But it'd be nice if you could see her every now and again, maybe?"

"N-no it's-...it's fine, i'll look after her." I say, knowing it was something Gid might have wanted.

"You don't have to." I remind her gently, "And if you need any help...just ask."

"You'll probably be hearing from me soon then." I say, forcing a small smile.

"I'll look forward to it." I force a weak smile back.

"When's the funeral?" I ask in a strained voice after a moment, looking up from my hands.

"I don't-...I don't know." I say, instantly dropping my gaze again.

"Right, let my know won't you." I say softly, looking back down at my hands, feeling more silent tears run down my cheeks.

"Ian-..." I say after few minutes of silence. "Do you know if he had any-..." I pause, swallowing. "-...last requests?"

"I don't-...no, I don't know."
Ian, I'm gonna...oi, pay attention, stop looking around, FOCUS MAN!...Ian, I'm gonna ask her to marry me...
You're what!?
Time's running out, man. Time's running out. I want to at some point and I know...maybe it's a bit soon, but I love her so much, man, so much and I don't want to wait around.
You're insane, aren't you?
Yeah, and that's why you love me.
Yeah, you better hope that she loves you, mate. Not that I do.

I nod my head slightly, taking a deep breath, trying to stop my tears.

I hesitate, not sure whether to tell her not, then say quietly, "He loved you so much, Izzy."

"Believe it or not, i loved him, and still do love him too." I say, almost whispering.

"Would you have married him? If he'd asked." I say quietly.

"Without a doubt." I say sadly.

My breath gets caught in my throat and i look down at my hands, unable to say anything outloud at that moment.

I take another deep breath. "Thanks." I say quietly.

"And thanks for coming here and telling me. At least it was someone i knew who came to tell me."

I nod, not saying anything for a moment, "No problem." I manage to say hoarsely, feeling I should reply.

I nod, before picking myself up and sitting next to Kim. Pausing before wrapping my arms around her in a hug.
