Ezra woke up to the sound of voices. He fluttered his eyes open and saw two lady's by the door. One was in a wheelchair and one looked like she was a nurse.
"Hi, I'm Nurse Carol. I'm the nurse on call today. How are you feeling?" She asked him, adjusting her scrub cap.
"I'm fine" He replies, trying to sit up.
"Oh no honey. You won't be sitting up straight for a while" and Ezra slumps back into the bed.
"I brought your girlfriend here"
Ezra peers over at the girl in the wheelchair who was smiling ear to ear.
"Hi Ezra" It was the voice. The beautiful voice. This was Aria.
"Hi Aria" he said, letting the name roll off his tongue.
She rolls the wheelchair next to his bed side.
"You're hurt but you'll be better soon" She assured him, rubbing her hand across his face.
"Can I ask you a question?" Ezra turns in the direction of Aria.
"Yes of course" She still was stroking the side of his face.
"Who are you?" He questioned and Aria laughed.
"Don't be silly Ezra. It's me. It's Aria. Your girlfriend" She suddenly took her hand off his face and placed it on her lap.
"I don't have a girlfriend" He said
"Yes you do. It's me. It's been me for awhile" she tells him but a blank expression still crosses his face.
The nurse must have noticed the tears starting to form in Aria's eyes and she spoke up "Mr Fitz is still pretty tired from his surgery and I would assume your still tired as well young lady so let's give him some space. You can visit him tomorrow"
Aria nods and gives Ezra one more look before she rolls over to the door. Ezra turns his head in that direction and Aria notices his gaze. Once more she turns around and looks into Ezra's ocean eyes. The ones she loved.
"I love you Ezra. Never forget that" Was the last thing she said before the nurse shut the door.
