Dvora raced down the stairs taking them faster than a professional dancer should. She beat Jack to the stairs and he could move like lightning for such a big, powerful man. She leaped and planted, feeling the mastery of her body, trying not to hope, and failing. She came to the last step and slowed to a measured pace. Trying to compose herself, she smoothed her face, posture and breathing into the calm serenity she used to approach center stage after an arduous performance. She squared her shoulders and walked purposefully into the room.
Angelo sat in his chair smiling.
Jack asked from slightly behind her, “What is it?”
Angelo smiled even more broadly. “This! Okay Meghan, they are here.”
The love of her life and the most beautiful, smartest, most determined, exasperating, sexy woman she ever met, opened her eyes and smiled at them. Her eyes are the same! She thought as she blubbered and laughed, hearing Jack’s laugh, like a leopard would laugh if leopards laughed.
“Step back for a second, you two, give her space. There is more. ” Angelo said.
She and Jack stepped back.
Angelo moved the glass of water with the straw near her lips and she took the straw in her mouth and drank. Then she said, much more quietly and slowly than she would normally deliver a punch line, “You two look like… crap.”
Dvora cried for happy. Her precious girl was back-maybe not all the way. Looks of confusion, looks she would normally hide, fled across her face, chased away by that brilliant mind, even slowed down, moving faster than anyone else she knew. At least, Dvora hoped that’s what was going on.
Jack said, “Welcome back, lazy. Did you have a nice nap?”
Meghan said, “Punch him for me…Don’t break your…hand.”
She could talk! She could talk!
Meghan said, “My brain seems…okay. I have…gaps in my…memory. And…talking comes…slowly. I…need…to…rest…” With that she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
They sat, she holding one hand and Jack another, and as they talked quietly.
He said, “I want to keep this quiet. And I want more troops here to protect her. Someone did this to her to keep her quiet and as long as she is in a coma, or thought to be in a coma, she might be safer. Are you okay with that?”
She thought that with this lion of a man to protect her, that her baby would be safe, but his sixth sense, or ESP, or magic, or whatever in the hell it was, had proved accurate in the past. And, he was very objective about his skills.
“I agree, and I want to get her concierge doctor in here right away to help put together her rehabilitation team.”
“Agreed, and I want Bob to make sure that all of the team are most thoroughly vetted,” he said.
“Agreed,” she said as they put together the rest of the plan.
