I could hear Adriana’s voice, but I felt too weak to open my eyes. All I wanted to do was lie there…forever.“I’m not sure yet,” Selena answered. “It’s too soon to tell. It’s not just physical, though. Her energy is way, way off.”All of a sudden my eyes popped open. Matt was kneeling next to the bed. He took my hand, and I was able to slowly turn my head and face him. “Hi,” I said.“Hi,” he said, smiling in relief. “She’s coming back,” he said to the others, trying to wipe away a tear with his sweatshirt without me seeing.Selena came closer. “Maya, how do you feel?” she asked.“Still kind of weak,” I managed. Then I saw Richard step forward. “Why don’t we let Maya rest,” he said. “We’ll bring you some dinner in a bit,” he added, and then he ushered the twins away from the door. He and Adriana followed them out.“I’ll stay with her,” Matt said to Selena.“Okay. Just call if you need me.” She walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.Matt slid into bed next to me and gently pulled me into spoon position.
