The restaurant he drove them to was only fifteen minutes away. She glanced around as they sat at a table near the back. She accepted the menu the waitress handed to her, and the petite blonde informed them she’d return soon to take their orders. As she left, Lyla studied the menu’s pictures and information. She knew Elias hadn’t opened his menu, instead settling in his chair to watch her.

She lowered her menu. “Something on your mind?”

“I can’t help but think how lucky I am in many ways. Ma used to tell me everything happens for a reason, but the day Noah almost died, I didn’t believe that anymore.” He cleared his throat. “You showed up, and things changed.”

“Elias-”

“Let me finish. Now he’s awake and talking to us. In a way, he’s the same old Noah, but I can see a different part of him.” Elias fiddled with his fork. “I can see it when he looks at you.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“You don’t see it, but I do. You should have heard him talking when he first woke up. He thought you were a voice commanding him to come back. I think a small part of him believed you wanted him to return for you. I’m puzzled as to why he would think that.”

She shifted in her seat but kept her eyes on him. “I was in the room with him when he woke up, like Dr. Stewart told you. I was talking to him, and he happened to be on a subconscious level where he could hear me.”

“Why would he fight so hard because of that? What’d you say to him?”

“It was a normal conversation. I held his hand like I usually do with patients,” she shrugged. “I remember telling him that you were all worried about him, and that it was time to come back. I didn’t say-”

“I think he took that suggestion a little more personally than it really is.”

“Of course, he must have. I don’t even really know him.”

“Can I ask you something personal?”

She released the menu and reclined in her seat. “Sure, go ahead.”

“Are you attracted to my brother?”

With wide eyes, she stared at him. “What kind of question is that? Your brother has been in the hospital in a vulnerable state for days!”

“I’m asking because I didn’t want to get in the way if you liked him. He has a way of tricking women by looking cute and helpless all the time.”

“Wait, are you saying that you want to date me?”

“Since you cut to the chase first, yeah, that’s what I’m saying.”

The waitress returned, and she focused her attention on her menu with shaky hands. They ordered, sitting in silence until the food arrived. When they began to eat, He glanced every so often at her, but she concentrated entirely on her food. She didn’t focus on him again until they were finished.

Lyla wiped her mouth with her napkin and cleared her throat. “I don’t think that’s such a good idea, Elias.”

His eyebrows furrowed.
