**| Sang's POV |**
We had an early dinner since Dr. Sean wanted to make sure I ate something. He even checked me over and finally took out the stitches in my back. I think he was more happy about doing it than I was.
"Do you know when Gabriel is coming over?" I asked him as he cleaned up the medical supplies.
"He'll be here around eight," he replied. He threw away the trash and then stood in front of me, his eyes lit with excitement. "Now, come on. I want to show you something."
I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up to my feet and then brought me to the second floor. He went to a door and opened it, motioning me to go in first. I went inside, not sure what he was showing me but quickly got my answer.
My mouth fell open as I took in the room. I was in complete awe of what I was seeing.
Paper in every color imaginable covered every single surface available but that wasn't what caught my attention. The room was decorated with origami figures. There was even a tree only slightly taller than me in the corner of the room filled with origami figures, making it look kind of like a Christmas tree. There were birds, butterflies, hearts, cranes, frogs, and more decorating it.
Hanging from the ceiling were more origami on strings. Flowers, hearts, stars, animals, birds, everything.
On one wall was a kaleidoscope of butterflies in all of the boys' favorite colors. I stared at it, loving the way their colors meshed together. There was even one pink one. My favorite color. I reached out and touched the wings of that butterfly in awe. He included me.
"This is beautiful," I whispered.
I could feel the heat of Dr. Sean's body as he stood behind me.
"Folding paper grounds me," he said. He reached over and touched the wing of the pink one too. "I'm so busy, always on the go and when I have a moment, I fold paper. It forces me to slow down. It's also good practice to keep my fingers nimble for surgery."
"And Mr. Blackbourne let you turn one of his rooms into your work room?" I asked, turning to face him.
He shrugged. "I probably spend more time here than at my own place. We used to room together when we were younger and having him around has just stuck so I come here a lot."
I giggled. "And he hasn't tried to kick you out?"
Dr. Sean smiled. "I think he needs me around as much as I need him around. We balance each other out. I add color to his drabby life and he forces me to breath. Without me around, he would just spend his days on his computer staring at the stock market."
I laughed at his answer and stepped away to look around some more.
"Are these baby booties made out of paper?" I asked. It was so him. He loved babies.
"Of course."
I leaned over another spot, staring down at the scene. "And a living room?" I asked.
