A nurse walked in and Kate gave her some room to check Tony out…once he was cleared Kate and him just smiled at each other. Kate wondered if Tony believed she was alive or in a dream…even she thought briefly if it was a dream.
"You should get some sleep Tony, then you might get out of here in a few days." Kate said holding his hand.
"I d-don't want to sleep, what if I wake up and you're gone?" Tony stuttered.
"Hey, I'm not going anywhere ok. I'll be here when you wake up." Kate reassured.
"Promise?"
"Yes Tony, I promise." Kate said softly.
It was 7 am and Tony woke up to find Kate asleep next to him. He just watched her for a while taking in her sent next to him. She stirred slightly and opened her eyes. Tony smiled at her.
"Morning." He said softly.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Kate asked smiling at him.
"Like a million bucks." Tony said smiling wider.
"A million bucks in a hospital with a few broken bones? How can you feel so good?" Kate asked.
"Because you're here with me." Tony said softly.
