Happily Never After: Chapter 10
oOoOo
I opened my eyes to the blue room again. The fire blazed in the hearth, and the table was littered in wood shavings. The man in the white coat came through the door and smiled in relief.
I finally recognised him. "Marcus."
"You're awake."
"Yes."
He said nothing, only smiled and sat down on the side of the bed. "Are you feeling better? You gave us quite a scare last night."
"I'm fine." I stared at the fire. "I'm fine."
He took my hands in his and I met his gaze. He smiled, and I was drowning in those pools of early-morning blue-grey. The room started to swivel, and he stood up, began to walk away.
"Wait!" I cried. I was feeling so dizzy, watching the room spin. Only he stayed in place. "Don't leave me!" Slowly, he reached out a hand to caress my cheek.
"I'll never leave you…"
But the world tipped, and I fell into the swirling void below.
With all the wind rushing about my ears, it was a wonder I could still hear it. I saw nothing, but the sensual whisper in my ear mumbled, "I love you."
oOo
"Doctor?" The plump, cheerful nurse looked at him expectantly, apprehensively.
Draco Malfoy shook his head, eyes painfully wet. "He's gone." With the usual spring gone from his step and the cheerful sparkle gone from his eyes, he trudged off to the coffee pot and the chair whose arms could not provide him with any comfort this night.
fin.
oOoOo
Sorry it took so long. I've been so disinterested in everything the past month, it's been killing me. But yes.
Sil: (sly look) Disinterested in everything but R—
Suchan: NOOO! (clamps a hand over her mouth) She said nothing.
But yes. Review, bitte. :D (phew)
