“¿Corazón? Corazón, wake up.”

Eduardo shook his wife, but she barely stirred. He took a seat on the edge of the bed.

“Westbrooke tells me that you’ve been in and out of consciousness for three days. Was there another accident?”

“Too many hospital visits,” Ophelia murmured.

“Harry was just released,” her husband replied. “He stayed in the guest room overnight and then asked Westbrooke if he could linger while he recovered his bearings.”

Eduardo hesitated. “Why is David back on duty?”

“Whitaker did not last,” he thought he heard her say.

“Ophelia?” He shook her again. “Ophelia, what is wrong with you? Every time I leave metropolitan New York for more than a few days, I come home to find you a physical—and sometimes emotional—wreck.

“Is your father after you again?”

“I have not seen Athair in weeks,” she murmured.

Eduardo watched his wife for a few minutes, her chest slowly rising and falling, as if she had gone back to sleep. He was nearly ready to attempt rousing Ophelia once again when she suddenly sat up and latched onto him.

“Do not leave me again, amor!”

She broke their embrace long enough to look at him, and Eduardo noticed her eyes were unusually bright.

“I need you here with me!”

“I have to leave sometimes,” he reminded her gently. “It’s part of my job!”

Ophelia’s answer was somewhat muffled, as she had buried her head in his shoulder. “You do not have to work! I have enough money for both of us!”

Eduardo began stroking her hair. “What would I do if I didn’t model? I can’t sit around all day doing nothing! We don’t even have kids to take care of!”

“We should try for children!” she exclaimed, her bright gaze locking onto his. “I will find you a position at Osborn Scientific—something that will keep you occupied, but that will be easy to get out of once I come back from maternity leave!”

Ophelia didn’t give him a chance to argue, swiftly capturing his lips in a kiss such as they had not had for a long time.
