"Ma'am? Ma'am, do you hear me?"
As Rose was slowly coming back to consciousness, someone opened her eyes and put a torch in them. She didn't know who it was. All she knew was it wasn't her Maxence taking care of her like they had planned to. Memories came back to her mind bringing back the fear she had felt earlier. Her husband had been attacked. They had thought he was dead, but he wasn't. And now, where was he? She needed him by her side before she did another panic attack that would send her into the darkness once again.
"She's coming back."
There was a lot of noises around her. Someone was talking to her. Someone else was breathing loudly – or was it her own breathing? There was the sound of a radio and she could also hear cars. They were on the road. There was a siren roaring close, very close. The siren of an ambulance. But she wasn't in a car driving close to an ambulance. She was in the emergency vehicle rolling at a high speed, taking her away from her house, from her dear husband.
"M-Max..." she muttered. "I wanna see... Max..."
"Maxence Spitz is her husband," explained someone.
"You can't see him yet, ma'am. We're taking him to the closest hospital. We're taking you there too. You fainted, do you remember?"
Rose was too tired to open her eyes. Her Maxence was being brought to the hospital. Her Maxence had been thought dead. Meaning he was in a very bad condition. What the hell had happened? It was all so confusing and terrifying. But not as terrifying as what was coming. A talkie-walkie crackled. Or a radio. Something.
"We're too late. We've lost him. They will have to record his death."
That was the last straw for the poor Rose. Maxence was dead. She was left alone. She couldn't see her life without him. She felt powerless at the simple idea of living without him and the panic was overwhelming her. She couldn't calm herself down and soon enough, she fell into the darkness again.
