It was a cold, stormy night. Yugi Moto couldn't get to sleep. He kept thinking of Tea Gardner. She'd been in the hospital for a few days now, and it was all Yugi could think about. He couldn't help but wonder how she felt about him. Did she know how much he loved her? Could she love him back? No. That would be silly. But he still had the chance of believing.
Joey Wheeler sat at his computer, typing up a letter to Tea. He felt so strongly for her. She'd been in the hospital because of him and now he felt like shit. No, he felt worse than shit. How could she ever love somebody that put her in the hospital? He'd lost his chance to have a relationship with her. But what if the sliver of hope was there?.
Tea Gardner lied awake on the hospital bed. Her thoughts slipped off to Yugi. How she longed for his arms around her and his lips against hers. But it would never happen. Yugi didn't love her like that. She was just a friend. She knew it too. She sighed heavily and looked out the window into the night sky. It was black and gray. Filled with storm clouds and flashes of lightning. She closed her eyes and finally drifted into a dreamless sleep.
