3rd Person POV

Maria rushed over to Robin and almost tripped over her own feet. Her uncle stood back to allow her some time to talk with his son in law.

"How...how are you awake, I saw you. You were in a coma." Maria struggled to get out.
Robin held Maria in an embrace, stroking her hair out of the way so he could look into her crystal eyes. Maria held back tears as she stared back into Robin's eyes.

"That doesn't matter now. As long as I'm here...with you."

Maria's uncle startled her from Robin, drawing her attention from him.

"Maria, I didn't want to say before but I think you should see this." Benjamin told her with worried eyes.

........

Maria and Robin were led downstairs into the library, where dust covered millions of books varying from shelf to shelf.
Benjamin led the two young adults through isles and round corners, until finally, he found what he was looking for. He pulled out a book which read 'Secret doors and hidden passages' . However, to Robin's surprise, the book did not leave the shelf but lock there half way. Suddenly, a secret brown compartment was flung open revealing yet another book.
Maria's uncle brought the old heavy book out and held it in front of Maria and Robin.

"Remember this?" Benjamin asked Maria.

"I...I do. I inherited this book from my farther. It's all about Moonacre valley and the moon purls. However, it changes...you see, when I restored the valley my part of the story was added at the end." Maria explained.

"You mean, near the end." Uncle responded.
Maria looked at the man in confusion. Her uncle flipped through the book...and past the end of Maria's story. There were more pages.

"What? But I don't understand. How is this possible?" Robin asked.

"Ever since about a week ago, more pages have just been appearing. Seemingly out of nowhere. I'm just as confused as you." Soon after Benjamin had spoken, he closed the book with a bang.

"Well, it's getting dark and I think Robin and you need your sleep since you've been through a lot."

"Ok, but what about the book?" Maria replied.

"Don't you worry about it, we'll try and sort it out in the morning. Now to bed."

Maria started to leave the library but stopped in her tracks near the door.

"Robin?" She asked, leaning her hand against the strong wood.

"I'll be right up." Robin reassured, looking into her eyes with a loving smile.

Maria went to her room whilst Robin was left with Benjamin in the library.

"Robin, do you know what this means?"

"Yes."

"Really? When did you find out?"

"When I was unconscious it was like all of my memories just flooded back to me. You, Maria, LoveDay, my father..."

Robin ran a hand through his brown curls, letting out a tired sigh.

"You know what you have to do?"

"Yes. She needs to know the truth. Before it's too late."

Maria stood outside the door, her ear leant up against the wood, listening intently to her...husband?
