Chapter One

Losing your wife and daughter to the hands of Red John was hard for Patrick to accept but he still thinks about them every second of everyday that goes past and he misses them so much but he also wasn't sure if he should maybe meet someone else and have a second chance at love and happiness but he thought about it often.

His friends at CBI had told to try and meet someone but he was wary about it until later that week anyway when he had the day from hell and bumped into someone who Patrick had never seen before but he smiled at her when she returned the smile back to him.

Patrick said " I'm sorry." when she replied " That's ok.", as he then said " I'm Patrick." and she replied " I"m Hollie.", they shook hands and Hollie smiled at Patrick who smiled back at her but he couldn't help but notice how gorgeous she was and he felt drawn to her even though he'd only met her.

Hollie wondered if she would ever see Patrick again and she actually liked him even she knew nothing about him but she thought that she'd like to find out more about him in time but she couldn't stop herself from thinking about him.

Patrick was at home and all he could think about was Hollie and he realised that he had butterflies in his stomach for the first time since he lost his wife and he wondered what was going on but he started to realise how much he kinda liked this feeling deep within and wanted to act on it.

A few weeks had passed since Patrick and Hollie bumped into each other but Patrick was unaware of what he would come across when he saw Hollie on the grass injured and he rushed over to her and checked to see if she was breathing and she was but shallow which worried him and he removed his jacket and wrapped it around her chest for heat.

The paramedics arrived on the scene and took Hollie to the hospital where she slipped into a coma, and as Patrick was informed about her status and it saddened him knowing that Hollie was now in a coma, he entered her room to be close by and he sat on a chair next to her bed and held her hand in his own and rubbed her's with his thumb softly while upset.

Patrick realised that he was falling for Hollie and it made him want to protect her if she pulls through from this attack and he watches the machines as he sighed softly just hoping that she survives when the doctor informs Patrick how serious her injuries are and he's shocked but vows to stay by her bedside until she woke up.

Will Hollie wake up or will Patrick lose her forever?
