"Elizabeth? Elizabeth, wake up. Please wake up."
Elizabeth had regained consciousness, but she kept her eyes closed. She recognized Jonah's voice and could tell he was the one holding her hand from the fact that it felt like she had stuck her hand in an electrical outlet.
"You really have to wake up. If you don't wake up then I'll- I mean- everyone will be heartbroken. And everyone will be pissed at the universe because they didn't get a chance to say that they're pretty sure they're in love with you. So, just please wake up."
Elizabeth thought he was going to continue what was a very sweet speech so she kept her eyes closed, but then she felt something wet hit her face. Was Jonah…was he…crying?
She slowly opened her eyes to see Jonah holding her hand with his eyes closed as he cried. Now, she could let him know that she had heard the speech and make admitting he liked her easier, but she didn't like making things easy.
She got an idea and closed her eyes before speaking softly, almost in a whisper, as if she were talking in her sleep.
"Jonah…" She could sense his head snap up and he moved his chair closer to her still holding her hand. His face was so close she could feel his breath. Her eyes fluttered open and he grinned at her.
"What the hell happened?" If Jonah hadn't thought she was going to die a minute ago, he would have laughed.
"You were knocked out by a Vesper, and you've been asleep for a day and a half. I thought- we all thought you were in a coma or something." She pretended not to notice how his voice cracked slightly at the final words, and the something clearly meant dead.
"Nah, it would take more than that to put me in a coma." He laughed slightly and helped her sit up.
"Anything else interesting happen while I was passed out?" And so Jonah gave her a basic run down of what had happened in the last 36 hours.

"And that's pretty much it." Jonah said, and Elizabeth realized he probably wasn't about to admit his feelings for her. So, she decided to play dirty.
"Jonah, I have a small confession to make."
"What?"
"I woke up two minutes before you thought I did."
In another time and place it would have been comical to see Jonah turn red and then white all in one moment, but it was only mildly so right then.
"Oh."
"Yeah."
"So, you know that I like you."
"Yeah."
"I hate my life."
"Why?"
"Because you don't like me in the wa-"
Jonah was cut off by Elizabeth kissing him. She had never been one for voicing her emotions and he knew that this was her way of expressing how she felt towards him. She kissed him, he kissed back, and it felt like heaven.
Until they both remembered that their family members were in danger and that now probably wasn't the best time to get as close to one another as they already were.
