Her clothes clung tight to her body in a creased and ruffled mess.
Her hair messy and slung up in a curly ponytail on top of her head, showing the thick smear of make up around her tired eyes for the crying sessions of the last 3 days.

The monitors slow beep drowning out the rest of the world which carried on behind the glass walls of the room. He had one of the quietest private rooms in the hospital, away from the hustle and bustle of the doctors who actually worked.
Her crystal blues looked into the empty space which should have shown his eyes, only so see the ever darkening skin which covered them, hid them from all who looked deep enough.

Lifting her hand she put her warm hands around his chilly hands and squeezed hoping for any movement. Bringing up the hand she brought it to her face and gently kissed it. Over come with emotion a small tear, as clear as crystal, touched his bruised skin.

The steady beat of the heart monitor suddenly sped up and two very dazed and sleepy eyes began to open. They started into the other pair of blue eyes, each face slowly curling upwards into a relieved smile.
