"How are you feeling?" Diana asked the next morning as she came into her room with two cups of coffee.

Shelley sat up in bed, Toodles and Melba yawning beside her. "Like I just woke up into a bad dream."

Diana handed her the coffee. "It's not that bad, is it?"

"Diana, you weren't there last night. You didn't see Matt run out straight towards a guy who had just shot someone and was about to shoot again. And the worst part was that I couldn't stop him."

Diana sat on the side of the bed and took a sip of coffee. "Shelley, let's say he did nothing. Let's say he grabbed you and said, 'Let's get out of here and let these other people be killed.’ Would that have been okay with you?”

Shelley sighed. "I know what you're getting at. That in the end, I might think less of him if that were the kind of person he was. And you know what? You're right. Part of what I find so appealing about Matt is his fearlessness and his willingness to help others. But I just can't live this way. I can't be constantly wondering if I'm going to see him the next day, or if every 'good-bye' could potentially be the last one."

"I don't think I have to tell you that you probably feel this way because of what happened to Ted. But maybe you just need some more time to adjust to things."

"You're right," Shelley said quietly, though she silently wondered if she could adjust. It was as if the universe had answered her prayer of finding love again … but with a catch.

“I don’t know … life is never simple,” Diana said quietly, as though reading her thoughts.

Shelley smiled wearily. “No, it never is.”
