I had mindlinked the pack doctor on duty to go check up on Ayla. Explaining what had happened. He let me know he would be going over to her in ten minutes. Then I called Jay and Tessie to let them know. Even if they knew better than to get too much hope from this. I could hear the relief in their voices. It was a good sign and we all appreciated it. Next I mindlinked, all of our close friends and family in the pack. So. all of them would know too.

Then I rushed to our personal chambers. Krystel had brought the framed picture over. The bigger copy of the picture I found in the forest that day. Without thinking about it, I took out my drill and hung up the picture. Above our couch, above the spot where I pictured us all snuggled up. I had avoided coming home and looking at pictures of Ayla for that matter. It reminded me of the future we were planning and how unsure it had become. That same future suddenly did not feel so impossible and

unsure anymore.

Next, I started on the dough for the Snickerdoodle cookies and turned on the oven so it could preheat. By the time my dough was done, the oven was hot enough so I flattened my cookies rolled them in the sugar cinnamon mix, and popped them into the oven as I made myself a quick sandwich. Ten minutes later, the cookies are done and I set the tray on the stove to cool down. Then I take a quick shower, followed by a short forty–five–minute nap.

Dillion was right, I did feel better and I had to admit I smelled better too. Before packing up the cookies, I mindlinked Dillion if everything was okay.

“Yes, nothing much has changed, I feel she looks more peaceful, but that could be on me though.” He tells me, and I choose to believe it is on

him.

I am already feeling so happy, with the fact that she squeezed my hand. That I need to be careful and still protect my heart a little bit. Only when she has opened her eyes and talked to me, I can be sure she will make it out okay. After I have carefully wrapped up the cookies, I look at the clock to see I have been gone for two hours. I promised her I would be back in two–and–half hours tops. Meaning, I need to rush to make sure I won’t break my promise.

“Griff, nothing is wrong but you need to hurry here” Dillion’s face. sounds happy, elated even when he mindlinks me.

I cannot live without her. And while that is still very much true. The moment she reacted the most was Krystel talking about work. Dillion being Dillion, asking her to tell me off. So I decided to give that

up the picture and it seems to be working. Her eyelashes flutter like she is trying to open her eyes. Her hand twitches in mine. Dillion sees it too, he whispers his goodbyes. But implores me to keep him posted.
