When Serena felt the warmth of the bright sunlight spilling over her and was enveloped by the strong scent of her rosebush carried on the breeze, she knew it was time. She closed her eyes, lifted her face toward the sunshine, and listened, patiently waiting for the voice that would carry her from her little field…

“Wake up, Sleeping Beauty,” Chayse whispered. “There’s so much I’d rather say to you while you’re awake.”

Chayse placed a soft kiss along Serena’s cheek, inhaling the fresh clean scent of the soap Colleen must have used on her. She shifted so that she could see Serena’s face.

“Please wake up, Serena.” Chayse placed her lips on Serena’s in a gentle kiss.

The tender moment turned to shock as Chayse felt Serena’s hand flex within her own at the same time as Serena’s lips opened and a subtle moan escaped. Chayse eased away from Serena just as her eyes slowly began to flutter open.

“Serena?” Chayse said hesitantly as Serena’s gaze began to focus on her.

Since her right hand was still within Serena’s soft grasp, Chayse subtly pushed the call button with her left so as not to make any sudden movement that would make Serena finally waking up seem like a dream. The nurse was there immediately.

“I see someone has finally decided to wake up,” she walked over to the bed and gazed down at Serena.

Serena looked from Chayse to the nurse then back to Chayse and began to speak but winced in pain instead.

“Don’t try to talk. Your voice hasn’t been used in a while. Let her sip some water.” The nurse handed Chayse a cup with a straw. “I’ll get the doctor.” She smiled reassuringly.

Serena sipped the water Chayse offered. As her gaze became clear and focused she looked around the room then settled her eyes on Chayse. Since Chayse was the only person in the room when she woke up, Serena knew that she had to be the one who had been talking to her all this time. She tried clearing her throat and talking again, but the only thing that came out was a croak.

“The nurse said you shouldn’t talk,” Chayse gently reprimanded her.

Serena needed to know for sure if Chayse had been the one to pull her from her sleep. She pointed to Chayse, made the talking gesture with her hands, pointed to herself, and made the gesture for sleeping hoping Chayse would understand what she was trying to say.

Chayse smiled sheepishly. “Uh, yes, I was talking to you while you were sleeping. The doctor said it would be good for you.”

Smiling, Serena pointed to Chayse, her lips, and then to herself.

Chayse blushed and looked away. “Yes, I kissed you,” she said.

Serena grasped Chayse’s hand, interlocking their fingers. Chayse turned her gaze back to Serena’s and was met with such tenderness, her heart swelled in response. The moment was interrupted by the arrival of the nurse with a doctor.

“Well, Ms. Frazier, welcome back. I’m Dr. Garrett and I’m going to take care of you until we reach Dr.
