“Jay,” he heard and this time it was a little louder although it was hoarse from not being used. “Emily,” he croaked as his body froze where he stood. He slowly turned so he could look at her. Her eyes had adjusted to the light and she turned her head to look at him. Her eyes glowed as the amber hue in them eclipsed the brown and she smiled before asking hoarsely, “Can I have some water, please?” He nodded his head jerkily as he went into the bathroom to fill up the cup that was kept in there. He looked into the mirror over the sink noticing the look of shock on his face, but the feeling of excitement began to stir in him especially when she smiled at him like that with such warmth. “Please do not let this be a dream,” he whispered softly as he headed back into the bedroom. The minute he walked into the room, he knew that it was not a dream for Emily was trying to sit herself up, but he could see the grimace of pain that crossed her face as she forced herself up.
