"How is he doing?"

"Pretty good." Abby managed the first smile of the day.

Susan replied, "Well that's great. He could wake up any time now. He's lucky you know. Lucky to have you."

"Thanks Suse."

"Well I've got at least nine patients waiting for me, so I'll catch up with you later."

"Okay, bye."

Abby wished she could help the ER, she knew how crowded they were but she couldn't leave John. Not when he needed her the most. After all John and her had been through she felt safe at County with her co-workers around her. She felt like nothing could go wrong. Almost like they were in a cocoon.

She was so hungry.

She looked at her watch.

1:43.

She'd been awake for nearly 20 hours. She rushed to the cafeteria to get her daily caffeine intake. She ordered a tall café latte. On the first sip she jolted to life. She walked back to the elevator and got in. She coasted up to the 3rd floor and jogged to John's room.

"I'm back John." She said to comfort herself even though she knew he couldn't hear her.

"Abby, am I ever glad to see you. I love you." A croaky voice uttered.

Abby jumped a foot forward.

She turned on her heel towards John's bed where he was laying with his eyes half open.

"John!"

"Hi, long time no see."
