Time was moving fast!

Too fast.

One moment, I was strapped to machines, barely able to hold my head up, and now... now I was running. Driving soon. Living again.

This was Josh. My husband.

Technically, none of this was new

I had seen him walk around the bedroom in his underwear, all smooth muscle and powerful shoulders.

I had even accidentally seen him in the shower. Busy...
