A rebellious tear tried to slip from her eye but she held it in knowing that it'd be a shame to spoil the moment by grieving something that hadn't even happened. When his heart stopped beating and his eyeids closed over his eyes forever, then she would shed a tear, but now that she had him by her side there was no use on crying. She held her face pressed to his chest for a little while, inhaling his particular fragrance and feeling the slow yet continous pump of his heart against his chest.
When he brushed his mouth over her forehead she smiled graciously just as he said she should. There was no reason to remember him with a heavy heart, not after all he had done was brighten up her day. "I would love one", she barked soflty, her yellow eyes setting on his aged face.
