Next morning.

"Hey.. you're awake.."
Stace said joyfully as he could see April seated up on the bed. She turned her head slowly towards him and forced a smile. Standing by was Merlin who now walked away creating a room for privacy for the lovers.
Stace moved to kneel before her on one knee, touching her face with his hands as he peered in her eyes. It was almost as though he couldn't believe she was finally awake. It was obvious he had worried much.
.."you're back.. you have no idea how glad I am to see these beautiful eyes again"
He added with a bright smile. Her eyes looked down and joyfully he made a move to kiss her .
She withdrew her lips.
.."oh..yea..I'm sorry.. forgive me. You must be tired"
He said , trying to get back on his feet and possibly sit besides her.
