~ 23 ~

Dr. Kirova had found a small clot in Dimitri's brain, which caused the seizure. He had to go back to the OR to get that clot out. He was going to be in the ICU tonight for close monitoring.

Lissa encouraged me to go home and get some rest.

I didn't want to, but I had been in the hospital a total of eight days, and the need for a shower and my bed was too strong to pass up.

I couldn't drive, so I let Lissa drive us home, to the house Dimitri and I had bought together.

It wasn't a big house, just a two bedroom bungalow, with a combined kitchen-dining room and an open living room. It was set in the middle of the forest, but it had a wide area of land around it with large patches of lush green grass separated by flower beds blooming with flowers and plants in different colors.

It almost hurt to look at it now, and it definitely hurt going inside the place that was meant to be the beginning of our happily ever after.

Lissa stayed with me all night, holding me as I cried myself to sleep.
