When the three walked through Honey’s door, Jean was gently brushing her hair back. Immediately, she stood and moved away giving Jacks her place at Honey’s side. Honey looked at him, a slight smile touching her trembling lips. Her eyes sparkled with tears as Jacks stood over her, compassion flooding his soul, for he instinctively knew that he loved this woman with all his heart. Dwight and Sheila stood back with Jean, watching the emotional reunion as he picked Honey’s hand up and kissed it gently, his own eyes misty with tears.

“Could you all leave us for a few minutes? I would like some time alone with her, please.”

When they left, he looked at her and whispered.

“I could never forget you. Never!”

Honey was weak and could not respond as she wanted to and though she desperately wanted to stay awake, the meds she was taking caused her to drift off again, but she clung to Jacks’ hand while he sat watching her with a sadness he could not shake. Memories began to flood him as he relived the past year, vividly remembering Asa and the group of people who wanted to destroy the world with their evil.

He whispered many things to Honey, while he sat with her not knowing if she heard him or not. Then loosening his hand from hers, he kissed her forehead and eased out of the room.

He found his friends still sitting with coffees and joined them at the table.

“She is sleeping soundly.”

Jean said,

“It is the meds. She has been sleeping constantly since I have been here. The doctor said it is good for her.”

“Did he say how long it will take for her to be well enough to take home?”

“Weeks. He said it is very important that she heal before going a long distance and suggested a convalescing home nearby.”

Jean hesitated, and then took a deep breath.

“I did not think you would like that idea so I…I asked him if we could take her to where I have been staying. By ambulance, of course. It is only about forty minutes from here, just over the state line and I have a friend who is a retired nurse who has volunteered to help oversee her care. I hope you do not think I was presumptuous…I so want to be of help and the city is really not a good place for Honey to recuperate.”

Jean stopped and looked to Sheila for support for they had already discussed this and both she and Dwight thought it a splendid idea. Sheila did not disappoint her.

“We agree Jacks. The last place Honey needs to spend time healing is here in the city. Since she will not be able to travel for a while, the offer is really hard to turn down, don’t you think?”

Jacks was listening and he did think it was a great plan and said so.

“It is very nice of your friend, Jean. I appreciate it. How soon can we transfer her? Did they say? I would like to speak with the doctor also.
