Liyana Bluemell:

Liyana had received a text from Ishan in the morning informing her that leo was awake and doing much better and she was welcome to visit today. She was out of bed instantly, her body still craving a lie in but her heart entirely focused on getting to the hospital as soon as possible. It was an hour and a half later that she reached, ishan waiting for her by reception and leading her upstairs. They wove through the maze of corridors before reaching their destination, upon which Ishan stepped back and let her greet him privately which she was grateful for. 

She entered the room in flurry of anxiousness,

At first her movements were slow, her voice hushed as she voiced a hello as to not disturb him. But upon seeing the way his eyes widened as he answered "liyana?", she rushed over to the bedside almost knocking over the contents atop the table.

"Leo. My gosh, you scared me"

He stared at her almost dazed, before smiling slowly.

"Are you real?" He asked slowly, his hands reaching out to touch her face.

"are you okay? i was so worried"

Concern creased her face as she scanned him searching for any injury. 

"Are you here?"

He asked sweetly, his voice a quiet hum.

"Yes im here, are you okay?"

Liyana persisted patiently with her welfare check as leo remained dazed at the sight of her.

"Im so happy you're here"

She paused, not expecting the admonition, and Leo took that as a sign to continue, "I missed you"

She deflated at the words, 

"I missed you too"

His dimple made an appearance, "Gosh, you're pretty"

A tear escaped her

"Thank you, so are you. Will you answer me now?"

"I'll do anything you ask"

"Are you okay? What happened? Where does it hurt"

"I'm okay now, you're here."

"Im being serious"

"So am I"

She laughed then in defeat almost.

"Are you uncomfortable?" He enquired but assessed the answer for himself and began moving to the left before ushering her forwrad.

"Oh my gosh, don't worry about me"

"Sit here, it'll be more comfy"

 "I dont want you to hurt yourself"

"Im fine honest. I just was a bit dehydrated and what not. How have you been?"

And it was that intrinsic care that made Liyana want to burst into tears. However, she fully suspected that would only make his put himself at more of a discomfort if only to comfort her so she answered normally, enjoying his company.

"Wait, how are you even here?"

"Uhm ishan told me. I heckled him to let me come visit so yeah sorry about that"

"I love your company, whats there to be sorry about?"
