“Sarah? Are you alright?”

She opened her eyes, expecting any second to see the black eyes of the bird. With a thrill of panic, she realized her legs weren’t moving anymore and tried to get up, not remembering how she’d come to be lying on her back. The last thing she remembered was walking, endless walking.

“No, lie down.”

A hand was holding her shoulder onto the bed, and she fought against it, but it was no use. She had no strength to match it.

“Nathan.” She looked around wildly. She couldn’t lose him here. She may never find him again…

“Sarah, look at me. At me.”

Her wild eyes met Thomas’ calm gold ones. Gold, not gray. “You’re okay. Nathan’s okay. You’re both alright. He’s going to be fine. He’s right there.”

Sarah turned her head to see Nathan’s still form on a bed next to her. “How did we get out?” she whispered.

“Get out of where?”

She shook her head, trying to understand. She reached her hand out and took Nathan’s. She could feel his heart beating, see the smooth rise and fall of his chest. “It doesn’t matter,” she muttered. “You said he’ll be fine? You’re sure?”

“I was more worried about you, to be honest,” Thomas said. “You were completely drained. For a while, I wasn’t sure if you’d pull through.”

“Wait, how long have I been out?”

“Five days.”

Five days. “Why isn’t Nathan awake?” Sarah demanded, her voice getting higher with every word. “He’s been unconscious for five days? How is that him being okay!”

“Sarah, relax, please, or you’ll wake him up. Nathan woke up on the first day. He’s still very weak, so he’s been resting a lot, but he’s merely sleeping.”

Sarah itched to shake him, to make him open his eyes and prove he was really okay.

“Let him sleep,” Thomas said, seeming to read her mind. “He needs the rest. So, do you.”

Sarah nodded reluctantly. She rolled over, squirming her way onto Nathan’s bed, pressing herself against his back, doing her best to wrap her arms around him. For what felt like the first time since she’d seen him on that table, she took a full breath. She breathed and listened to his heart beating, solid and steady…

When she woke, Sarah was wrapped up in Nathan’s arms. “Hello.”

She looked up, her head tucked under his shoulder, to see his beautiful golden eyes smiling down at her.

“You’re alright.”

“Thanks to you, so I hear.”

“You don’t remember?”

Nathan frowned. “There are bits and pieces. I remember your hand… You were leading me somewhere... I don’t remember anything after that.”

Sarah wasn’t listening. She was watching his lips. Maybe, before he was injured, she would have hesitated, but nearly losing Nathan showed her so clearly what she hadn’t seen before.

She kissed him. Nathan was surprised for only a moment, and then his hand was in her hair, pulling her to him. His leg swung around so that he was on top of her, and Sarah arched up, leaning into the kiss.

Nathan broke off and started kissing her neck, her shoulders, and further down.
