"Detective, you have some visitors." Woody's nurse poked her head in the door. "Are you up for some company?" Woody just blinked and looked at her for a second. Who had come to see him? He had turned everyone away. He knew exactly who he desperately wanted, and needed it to be, but he knew it wasn't her. It couldn't be her. He finally nodded and the nurse opened the door. It was Lily. She saw the look of excitement and anticipation on his face slowly leave as he saw it wasn't Jordan.
"Hey Woody." Lily said softly, "How have you been doing?" Woody sighed and closed his eyes for a minute. Of course it would be Lily. Who else would care enough to come back? A voice deep in the back of his mind answered, well apparently not Jordan, but he regretted the though right away. She would be here, he told himself, she would be, but he had told her not to be. Then he remembered Lily, and quickly opened his eyes.
"I've been alright." He told her. "How have you and people been?" He asked in return, regretting it as soon as it had left his lips. Of course Lily would know who he meant exactly by people, but luckily, it was Lily and she just smiled.
"I'm good, and people, well people have been a little depressed." Lily answered him with a tiny smile, as if to confirm his suspicions that she knew exactly who he was talking about.
"Was it that obvious?" He asked, cringing. Lily laughed.
"Yeah." She said. "Jordan really misses you, I can tell. I'm guessing you miss her as well?" Woody smiled. What a question. Did he miss Jordan Cavanaugh? Well, it was sort of obvious he did, and Lily would know he was lying if he said no, and besides, Jordan missed him, just thinking about it sent chills of happiness up his spine. Jordan missed him. "Woody? You there?" Lily asked again with a smile. She already knew the answer was yes, so she didn't know why he was so hesitant to admit it. Woody gave her a small smile.
"Okay. Yes. I'm still in love with Jordan." Woody confided to Lily. Lily smiled again as she watched Woody realized that wasn't the question she had asked. She had asked if he missed Jordan, not if he was in love with her, but his answer sort of went for both.
"She really did mean what she said Woody, you know that don't you? It was just a matter of bad timing when she realized it. She wanted to tell you all along, but somehow she just couldn't. She needed to tell you before it were too late, that's the reason she told you then. Not whatever reasons you thought." Lily informed Woody on information she knew, in her heart, was true, but had not yet been confirmed by Jordan. Woody looked astonished, happy and angry all in one, and it made him look so cute. Jordan was watching, and listening, from the other side of the thin hospital walls. She peeked in at that moment to see his expression. She had to. He looked adorable, realizing what he had done to her. She didn't know what to do next. How had Lily known how she felt? And what to say? Oh well, she had done it, and this was her chance. She took a few steps, and put her hand on the door knob. She turned, and pulled. Lily smiled as she heard the door open behind her. Woody looked up with amazement to see the Jordan Cavanaugh smile he loved so much.
