“Sorry I couldn’t make it to get the marriage license on time,” Jeffrey said, his voice a little hoarse.

He remembered how everything went black and his cars started ringing that morning. He’d wanted to call Rebecca to explain, but the moment he picked up his phone, his legs gave out and he collapsed. He’d only just

come to.

Rebecca replied, “It’s fine. We can go later.”

Jeffrey just gave a quiet hum.

The room fell into a heavy, awkward silence between Jeffrey and Rebecca.

Neither of them broke it; for a long moment, they just let the silence linger.

Rebecca stood up with her phone, deliberately putting on an indifferent and distant expression. “I’m going to let Dr. Johnson and Gregory know.”

“Please don’t go,” Jeffrey said, unable to hold back, reaching out to grab her wrist.

Rebecca stopped, facing him, pausing in place.

Jeffrey’s eyes lingered on her, and he couldn’t bring himself to let go of her wrist. “Just for a little while.”

Rebecca steadied her emotions, and when she looked at him again, there was nothing in her eyes but endless, icy distance. “I hope you don’t forget what you promised in Honnala.”

Her words stabbed into Jeffrey’s chest like a knife.

His grip on Rebecca’s wrist slowly loosened until his hand fell weakly to his side.

Rebecca didn’t look back at him, just turned around and left the hospital room. She went to let Gregory and Dr. Johnson know he was awake.

Everyone came over to check on him.

Dr. Johnson started asking how Jeffrey was feeling.

Jeffrey answered each question, but his eyes kept drifting past everyone else to Rebecca, who stood off to the side with an icy, detached look. It really was like she didn’t love him at all anymore; her eyes were totally emotionless.

“Nothing serious–just get some rest,” Dr. Johnson told him.

Jeffrey’s gaze was quiet, withdrawn.

Dr. Johnson kept on with the instructions. “And don’t forget, you’ve got to eat three proper meals a day…”

Jeffrey called out, “Gregory.”
