Clover was now sleeping more peacefully in Joe's bed. He kissed her forehead before moving away from her to his wardrobe. From the drawer, he took out something.
Joe smiled as he looked at the blue velvet box measuring 15cmx15cmx8cm whose contents only Joe knew. He placed the box on the small table next to Clover's bed. Then he sat next to Clover, positioning his body to sit as comfortably as possible next to his lover.
"Soon we will not be separated. You'll be all mine, Babe..." Joe said softly as he stroked Clover's face and gently kissed her forehead again.
Joe slowly pulled Clover's hand while opening the box. It was a flat, dark-colored screen-like object. He placed Clover's palm and slightly pressed it against the flat object, along with one by one her fingers.
When all parts of Clover's palm touched the object, the dark screen turned green. It seemed to be a fingerprint detector that had completely stored Clover's fingerprints.
