I stand just outside the intensive care unit near Jayden's door, my heart pounding. There's a small window but I can't see him from the position of his bed. I look up the corridor and see Dr. Green approaching, his face serious but his eyes show the kindness he always has.

"Winona," he says, stopping in front of me. "Jayden's stabilized enough for you to go in, but it's crucial that he remains in a quiet and stable environment. No drama or excitement, which is why we're only allowing one visitor at a time."

I nod, my throat tight with emotion. "Thank you, Dr. Green. I understand."

My heart soars that I can be with him. I'm not letting him go again. No matter what.

"He'll stay under medication for an induced coma for a few more days," he continues. "But if things continue to improve today, I may allow Abby to visit briefly with you later on today. I can't see how having his daughter in there can set him back." "Okay," I say with a small smile. "Thank you."

He gives me a reassuring nod before turning and walking away. Taking a deep breath, I push open the door to Jayden's room. I step into the room and I need to swallow all the emotion I feel seeing him lying there like this.
