Nina had blanked out for several hours after the vicious gunfight. When she finally awoke, she saw herself laid up in a hospital bedroom with slim cords attached to her body.

Looking over towards her left, she saw somebody sitting in a small chair with a bag of roses in hand. The person sitting in the chair was Steve Fox, the man who's life she had saved back at the diner.

He sat in his chair rocking back and forth looking back at Nina in a worried state. The blonde assassin attempted to speak but hardly any words escaped from her soft lips.

She desperately wanted to scold him but saw no purpose in doing so. She lied back in her bed staring back at him, wondering what he was doing in her hospital room.

A moment later, Steve stood up from his chair and comes over to Nina's bedside, keeping both eyes locked on her. Within an instant, he took hold of Nina's arm and massaged it gently with his fingers.

"How are you feeling?" he says in a soft whisper.

No words came from Nina's mouth. Not even a harsh insult was said.

"I came here to thank you for saving my life. I really appreciate what you did back there. It may not mean anything to you but it means a lot to me. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be standing here right now."

At that time, Nina began to feel slightly different. Normally, she did not care what anybody had to say about her, whether it was good or bad. But somehow, Steve's words seemed to be touching her in way she had never felt before. It was quite a heart-warming feeling.

"Here, I brought you these."

Steve places the roses he held tightly in his arms on Nina's lap. The smell of the flowers was quite pleasant like they had just been cut from a fresh garden.

Nina took a moment to breath in the fresh aroma the roses were giving off. Never had she smelled something so beautiful before.

No one had ever given her roses in her life and this was a first for her. After smelling the sweet smell of the beautiful flowers, Nina began to think differently about the blonde haired boxer.

He didn't seem as bad as she had thought and gave the impression that he really cared a lot about her, something no one really showed her. A couple minutes later Steve figured it was best to leave now for he thought Nina really needed to rest.

But Nina did not want him to go. In a way, she kind of enjoyed his company and wanted him to stay longer. But she showed no signs of wanting him to stay in the room with her.

She was completely silent as she watched him walk out the door. She didnt want him to know she wanted him to stay.

Before he left, he promised Nina he would come back to see her again, something she looked forward to very much. An hour later, a Caucasian doctor with a baldhead and gray whiskers came pacing into the room with a clipboard in hand.

He told Nina about her condition. Due to the state her leg was in, Nina would have to stay in the hospital for a few weeks.

She didn't like the sound of it too well for the fact she wanted to get out of the hospital as fast as possible, but both her and the doctor knew that wasn't possible. Strangely, Nina was more understanding than normal.

Usually, she would have gotten smart with the doctor and demanded he fix her leg immediately. But instead she accepted this for what it was. There was no way her leg was going to heal faster by being hostile.

Two days later.

The sun gleamed brightly through the window with its intense rays, waking up a sleeping Nina Williams from her bed. Steve was in the room once again sitting in the chair by her bedside with his hand over his face, hoping the best for her.

The blonde assassin displayed a slight grin after witnessing Steve's presence. She was quite pleased to see him.

"I told you I'd come back," Steve noted as he placed his hand back on Nina's arm. In the bed Nina still remained silent, not uttering a single word. She was totally quiet the whole time he spoke.

"I wanted to do something for you in return for saving my life," Steve told.

Nina had no clue what he had in mind, but she was open to anything.

"I wanted to take you out to dinner, that is when your leg is healed, if that's ok with you."

Nina didn't expect Steve to say such a thing, but he did. She took a minute to think about it.

Laying in bed looking deep in thought, her eyes circled the room aimlessly. Finally, she turned her head slowly towards him and nodded "yes."

A wide grin quickly grew on Steve's face from her answer. Now that everything was set, Steve could hardly wait for the time to come, the time him and Nina would go out.

A few weeks later

Nina was cleared to leave the hospital. With her leg fully healed, it felt great to be able to walk again.

Steve Fox came inside moments later, getting the chance to see Nina stand on two legs. Without saying a word, he took Nina by the arm and brought her outside to his car.
