Part Eight

Everything was fuzzy and somewhat gray. She blinked her eyes several times, her tear ducts wetting her dry eyes and bringing things slightly more into focus. After a few seconds, her vision cleared and she was looking directly into the most beautiful chocolate brown eyes she had ever seen.

"Lita?" Matt said softly, an intense look on his face.

"Matt, that blue shirt of yours is my favorite" she stated simply.

"Yes!" he yelled, and immediately went to Lita, enveloping her in a hug that seemed to last forever. Finally backing away, he answered her, "This ought to be your favorite shirt. You bought it for me."

Lita looked past Matt's beautiful eyes to those of her doctor, who had backed away to allow Matt and Lita time to celebrate. "Dr. Patton, I'm literally very happy to see you! I don't know how I'll ever thank you."

"No problem, Lita. That's what we're here for. " Turning to Matt, who was standing next to Lita holding her hand, Dr. Patton continued. "Matt, if you'll give me just another minute, I want to do a few tests on her eyes, then you can take her home."

"She's all yours, Doc."
