"Always by your side" (Theo)
Evie’s eyes fluttered open landing on Theo with such a deep love it almost hurt. She wanted to speak, to ask what had happened and how long she had been out. But no sound came out as she groped for his hand. He shouldn’t have been there, he needed to be with other people. More important people, people who he needed to heal and care for. She was just a causality in this whole scheme of things. Maybe what made it worse was how amazingly blissful she was that he was here. His eyes settled her unease, making her sink further into her pillows. Finally her fingers found his and she raised his hand to press her lips to his wrist. "You have to leave. They need you."
