Instantly, he knew he was not where he should be. The fact that something had gone wrong was secondary, only accompanied by a pounding in his skull and face respectively and the feel of his heartbeat against his left eye. It took a great deal of time before Kasper could gather his thoughts, but once he did he cursed at Dr. Taylor, his entire staff, and Aasif—who clearly had not followed his instructions lest he should be at home right now, in his own bed, and not this wretchedly uncomfortable hospital one.

Despite his position, it was easy for Kasper to figure out that he was indeed in a hospital. The stiff tubes of flowing oxygen in his nostrils and the distinct scent of disinfectant gave that away even though he couldn’t yet open his eyes, a side effect of the anesthesia, he suspected. Because of it, Kasper spent more time in that in-between world than he would have liked, shuffling through memories he could not quite grasp, both good and bad. There was also the sound of voices he was almost sure could not be real.

More powerful than anything was a stifling feeling that reached out for him. Apathetic and bland, it was a strangely powerful force that Kasper felt the need to fight against, though he had little strength to do so. And without knowing why, and though it had no visible body, he wanted to tell the force of Emilia, of how much he loved her and of how they needed one another, of all the things he wanted to do for her. The foolish girl even wanted to have a child with him! With him! But if the force took him away, there would be none of that, and as grateful as Kasper was for the short happiness he had experienced, he had always been a greedy man, and he wanted more—more joy, more love, more Emilia.

He shook the force off until it was gone completely.

Some of the grogginess seemed to recede with the force, allowing Kasper to become more than just semi-conscious. Actually, as he became more responsive, Kasper thought for an instant he could make out the feel of soft fingers on his arm and even detect the faintest scent of lavender.

Lastly, he heard that most annoying but melodious humming that had lured Kasper to his little peach in the first place.

Kasper forced his eyes open, cursing and blinking them shut again at the harshness of the hospital light. In the shadows of his eyes a petite but clumsy shadow—presumably Emilia—fell over itself in moving across the room. From there the lights changed, dimming significantly until it was nearly pitch black in the room. Kasper tried to open his eyes again, relieved that the beeping lights of the machines and the hallway light were almost all that lit the room. Perhaps things were not so bright, and his eyes were merely that swollen.

“Little Peach.”

“Hi.” Admittedly, the smile through her tears confused him. “It’s good to see you.
