Sarah had opened her eyes just a fraction when a wrecking ball of pain slammed into her skull with maddening fury. She heard a groan, which sounded distant and yet familiar. When she tried to turn her head, she found it was impossible. Her head appeared to be strapped to something solid and hard.

She closed her eyes, willing her mind to tell her what she’d missed. How on earth had she ended up in this strange-looking place? The beeping sounds of equipment made her think of a hospital, and that idea was the trigger that unleashed a flood of recent memories.

Greg. She stepped into the street. A taxicab barreled in her direction. Her screams before landing on the pavement. She remembered nothing after that. Now, here she was in the hospital room. Everything started to come into focus. Her once-dissociated thought process began piecing information back together.

How badly hurt was she? Unable to move her head to survey the rest of her body, she tried wriggling her toes. It gave her an odd prickling sensation, like her brain had transmitted the order but the receptors were slow to respond. She moved her hands, one at a time. Even if they felt like they weighed a ton, a rush of relief surged through her when they flexed at her command. And she could feel touch, she discovered. A hand gripped hers, and she squeezed it in response.

An overwhelming sense of happiness engulfed her. She could feel. She wasn’t paralyzed as she’d first thought. The exhilarating relief brought tears to her eyes. Before she could blink them back, a rush of emotions consumed her, and she began sobbing uncontrollably.

Sarah held on to the hand in hers like it was her lifeline. She was shaken to the core. Then all of a sudden, Greg was leaning over her.

“You’re awake,” he whispered. His face came closer, and his eyes searched her face. He let out a sigh of relief when she offered a weak nod.

“Yes, I think I am,” she sobbed.

Greg’s expression flitted from surprise to utter happiness in an instant. Then he hugged her, careful not to jostle her and showered her with kisses over every inch of her face.

“God, I thought . . . I’d lost you.” His voice was hoarse, as if he’d been crying. She must’ve given him quite a scare.

“You can’t get rid of me yet.” She smiled despite her tears.

A harsh laugh escaped his lips, and his eyes glistened with unshed tears. “I never want to get rid of you. I want to keep you, if I can. Promise me you’ll be more careful next time.” One tear dropped, and Greg tried to hide his face from her.

Overwhelmed by his display of affection, Sarah reached out to touch his arm. “Greg, don’t turn away. Please look at me.”

He obliged and turned back to her, and she saw the traces of tears on his cheeks. Sarah raised her hand to his face and ever so gently wiped the wetness away.
