Chapter Twenty-Nine

Violet

I open my eyes and blink drowsily as I take in the small, dimly lit room of the intensive care unit.

I glance to the left and smile as I recognise my mother’s sleeping form, her neck propped up awkwardly in the armchair.

She’s going to have the worst stiff neck, but I wouldn’t have expected to find her anywhere other than right here next to me.

She never leaves me when I need her. She’s still wearing the same clothes as she was when they wheeled me into the operating theatre.

I don’t even know what day it is, or how long I’ve been out – I know I’ve been awake, but I can’t really recall what happened – it’s like the memory is covered in a thick haze.

It’s dark outside and I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus. The pain thrumming through my body is too much and I know I need to ask for more pain relief.

I’m opening my mouth to let the nurse in the corner know that I’m awake when I catch a movement out of the corner of my eye and my gaze meets his.

He’s standing on the other side of the glass window, watching me intensely.

I’ve never met this man, but I know him right down to my bones. And as I stare into the blue depths of his soul, my new heart skips a beat for the very first time.
