Chapter 14
Late one night, it was just Jed sitting alone by Abbey's bedside. He was holding her hand, just wanting to feel her warmth. For her to feel the love he was trying to send her.
Frustrated at the lack of results with everything else he had tried, Jed decided to try something a bit different.
He took her wedding bands from his pocket. He had been given them in Utah and had kept them safe, hoping he could place them back on her fingers when she woke up. But so far that had never happened.
Jed slipped them on her finger and leaned down to kiss the rings.
The finger jerked.
Jed jerked his head up.
"Abbey, are you awake? Can you hear my voice? If so, move your finger. Move something."
He looked at her left hand. Her fingers slowly moved.
"Oh, God! Abbey, can you open your eyes? Please baby. Open those eyes."
Her eyelids fluttered open. Finally the green eyes focused on the face in front of her and a brief smile crossed her face.
"Jed," her voice raspy from nonuse.
"Oh, God. Thank You." Tears of joy were flowing unabated down his face. He pressed the nurse's call button. He didn't need professional confirmation of what he already knew, but the staff had to be notified.
The nurse moved quickly to verify Abbey's return to consciousness. She was smiling as she picked up the phone and notified the physician on call.
And she confirmed what Jed already knew.
Jed's love had brought Abbey back to him. And his love would make her whole again.
