I get back to the room as quickly as possible. I try to tell myself it is so that Abby can take her own leave, go home, shower, eat and check in with friends to update them, but selfishly I know it is because it is where I want to be. I tell her to take her time, that I will send a text if someone comes in that I need to operate on. I know I have been quite lucky so far this weekend, luck that will surely run out.

I find myself alone with Alex again. I check her incision sites and facial lacerations. Things still look good. Her lips are dry so I grab my chapstick from my bag. She has some facial twitches while I’m applying it, the sight reinvigorating the hope that was starting to fade. I take her hand once more and stroke her face as I talk to her. I tell her that I can’t wait for her to wake up, so we can see what this is between us. I tell her that I’m here and I’m not going anywhere. I tell her I need her to wake up so I can tell her all of these things when she will remember them. I take out a book and read aloud to her for a while. Probably not a book she would read under normal circumstances, but it is what I have with me. When I tire of the sound of my own voice I set up the laptop and start up Game of Thrones. Many people have told me over the years that I need to watch it and I know Alex loves it. I am halfway through the second episode when I realize that tomorrow is Monday and I have cases scheduled. I pull out my phone and look at my calendar to see what it is I am supposed to be doing. Three elective back cases, none of them urgent. I contact the on call PA and ask her to contact the patients to reschedule. It doesn’t matter to me that I will end up working late several nights to make up for it, I just need to be with Alex.
