KING'S BAY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
He heard.
Sarah
can see it in Brent's eyes.
The eyes she has waited for days to see again, to see life gleaming brightly
in them, now present themselves as nothing more than two brown stones.
And the flesh she has waited to feel responding to her touch -- it's colder
than it was before he woke up.
He heard.
"Brent," she says weakly, thinking
that perhaps this is a nightmare. This isn't how it was supposed to be
when he woke up ...
"I'll go get a doctor,"
Jason says
from behind Sarah. She nods, not even looking at her brother as he slips
from the room. He obviously wanted to get away.
Sarah is suddenly wishing she could
do the same thing.
Brent doesn't speak. He doesn't appear
to have the energy to do it -- although Sarah is almost positive that's
because he is using all of his energy in shooting her that icy glare.
"I can explain," she says hurriedly.
"We were worried that you weren't going to wake up. The doctors, they said
that once you were conscious you'd pretty much be out of the woods.
Molly
was in here crying and making a scene, and I just wanted to make sure--"
Brent interrupts her by turning his
head away from her. The gesture expresses his point just as clearly as
words would have: Her excuse isn't even worth the effort.
