"Sherilyn?"

Edgar's heart leapt, the pain in his arm momentarily forgotten. "You're awake? It's me, Edgar!"

"Ed...gar..."

Silence followed before Sherilyn began to sob quietly, resting on his back. "Ed...gar..."

Regret filled Edgar's heart as he spoke with even greater tenderness. "Sherilyn, I'm so sorry I'm late. I'm here now... to save you."
