Olivia had no more tears left to cry. Every time she inhaled a hiccupping sob, the monitor attached to her finger would alarm. After the third or fourth time, the nurse finally stopped coming in. She’d done her best to reassure Olivia that she was all right, telling her these feelings were normal. It was perfectly natural to be overwhelmed after coming out of a coma, blah…blah…blah… She wasn’t overwhelmed, she was heartbroken. Lying here in this hospital room, Olivia had never felt so completely and utterly alone.

The backlight from the monitors stung her photo-sensitive eyes. The intermittent chirping alarms hurt her ears. Rolling to her side, she turned away from the door and wiped her tear-swollen eyes with the back of her hand and her runny nose with the sleeve of her nightgown.

Although she’d been sleeping for what felt like an eternity, exhaustion still dogged her. Yet, she was terrified to close her eyes, afraid if she did, she’d find herself shackled to the darkness again, except this time she had no one to save her.

The soft reassurance of his husky voice—gone. The comforting weight of his hip against her side—gone. The soothing, rhythmic stroking of her hair—gone. Another round of gut-wrenching sobs attacked her, and the monitor behind her alarmed. She yanked the covers over her head to drown out the shrill ringing. A moment later, there was a soft knock on the door she didn’t bother to answer. The nurse should know by now she was just fine.

Another tentative knock and the door hinges squeaked behind her. “Olivia?”

She knew that voice. Pulling out from under the covers, she sat up and looked to the door. “Mom? Dad?”

Her mother let out a cry of relief and rushed over to the bed, wrapping her arms around her in a tight embrace. “Oh, honey, we’ve been so worried about you. Are you all right?”

Olivia nodded. “I think so.” She hugged her mother and watched as her father crossed the room to stand on the other side of her bed. He put his arm around her and kissed the top of her head. It felt good to see them, comforting to have them here with her.

Drawing back, she asked, “How did you get here? How did you know where I was?”

Her mother’s brows pulled together in a concerned frown. “Liam called us.”

Liam? “Who’s Liam?”
