“Will he wake up soon?” I hear Arabella ask softly before she states under her breath, “I can’t believe I am saying this, but I miss him already.”
Hearing this, I open my eyes slowly and then turn to gaze at her. Not knowing that I am looking her way, she continues murmuring quietly, “I wouldn’t think I could ever care about a creature. It’s just so weird.” Just after she says it, she looks up and then sees me staring at her.
Immediately her face flushes as she starts stuttering, “I” “I” “I” “I mean.” Her words trail off before she runs out of the room.
The doctor glances over at me and then says, “I guess she really does care for you. She sat here for hours each day holding your hand.” He shakes his head and then continues, “That girl is starting to come around I think.”
