“Yup! I was, and I wasn’t,” he repeats cryptically after the nurse and I look at him. He is grinning, but his voice is strained. I let out an irritated sigh.

I glance at the nurse and ask, “Would you care to explain? How bad is it?”

“The bullet grazed his bulletproof vest,” she begins, her tone gentle but serious. “He was shot at a very close distance… So it still caused damage.”

I grip Miles‘ hand tighter, feeling a knot form in the pit of my stomach. “What kind of damage?”

Her face softens as she explains. “He has three broken ribs and the bullet also impacted his liver. His liver injury was serious, and he was in the ICU for 24 hours.”

My eyes sting as I swallow hard. “It’s all because of me.”

“No!” They both speak at the same time.

I wring my palms while trying to calm myself. It is dark outside the hospital widow and I glance around to spot the clock. It’s 9:15 pm and I am hungry. I have an IV attached to my arm. How’s Dad? Didn’t he come to see me?

Why I am thinking all over the place? I shake my head to get rid of random thoughts and ask, “How is he now?”

“I am fine. She is just making a fuss.”

The nurse smiles and repeats, “Yes. He is fine, but he…” she stresses the word as she gives Miles a pointed look. “…must take a proper rest.”

A mix of relief and anguish fills my heart. I reach out, gently caressing Miles‘ cheek with my free hand. “Oh, Miles,” I whisper, my voice thick with emotion. “I’m so sorry you went through that. I wish I hadn’t called. I wish I-”

“No,” the nurse repeats as Miles shakes his head, brushing my cheek with his fingers.

“You suffered and you are not fine yet. So don’t blame yourself,” The nurse adds. “And your boysister was too worried about you sleeping too long… So he wasn’t leaving you alone. He threw quite a tantrum to be in the same room as your once he came out of ICU.”

you all!” Miles Miles rolls his eyes. “Because I was fine, and I wanted to be next to her. It’s not rocket science, complains as he holds my palm tightly. “Don’t you worry, my doll. I’ll be fine. We’ll get through this together.”

I nod, my eyes welling up with tears.

Together.

She takes some notes in my chart, then she walks to Mile’s side to check his injuries. I gasp when she pulls up Miles‘ gown to see his bruises. His whole side is blue.

“That looks-”

“Bad ass?” Miles suggests, and I bite my lips.

“Whatever you say… but that looks painful.”

“He will be fine.” She assures then asks me, “Would you like to freshen up?”

Nurse helps me out to the bath. I insist I can do it on my own and she tells me I can start doing things on my own by

tomorrow.

“Did anyone come to see me?” I ask.

She smiles and assures me. “Yes. Your Mom and dad were here. Your sister too.”

My jaw drops and I try to process my emotions. I don’t know how I feel about Della right now. I don’t even want to think about her.

After checking out our charts for one last time, she says, “Your vitals are good now, Ms Avery. That’s great news. Once doctor sees you in the morning…. He will probably run some tests… Then you can go home by tomorrow.”

I glance at Miles and nod. I don’t want to go home without him.

“She barely woke up half an hour ago and you’re gonna discharge her already?” Miles asks in annoyance, and I

smile.

“Well, my feelings are mutual. I am not going anywhere without Miles. When he will be discharged?”

“No, I said… We will run some tests first. But she looks mostly fine… I just gave an opinion. The doctor will have a final say in it. You two must take a good rest for the night.”

Something suddenly clicks, and I frown. “What a minute. Does it mean I passed out for 24 hours? Why? Isn’t that too long?” I ask, bewildered. “And how I am supposed to sleep again if I was unconscious for that long time?”

Then she explains the aftermath.

So apparently when I freaked out, seeing Miles wasn’t responding. A paramedic gave me a sedative to calm me down. And because Ethan had already used some sedative on me a little too many times… I didn’t wake up.

A chill passes through my spin. I could have died in my sleep and never known.

The nurse is careful with her words, but I am no fool. I know exactly what she is trying to say between the lines.

“I’ll leave you two alone for now,” she says softly. “I will send you some food.”

She gives me a weak smile and I know she is putting off the topic for now.

“And something to pass my time!” I say.

She smiles. “A magazine?”

“A laptop?” I ask hopefully.

She laughs. “We don’t have that at hospitals.”
