I gasped as the familiar yet strange shape of Dare's body came into view.

Swathed with hospital sheets and blankets, only his arms and his head were visible.

Cables snaked like jungle vines from his unusually pale arms and led into heavy beeping metal machines. All I could think of was thank God they are beeping and not silent!!

And his face.

Oh my goodness, his stunningly beautiful handsome face was slack and frowning, lines scarring his perfect skin. Soft pale lips no longer smiling or laughing like they usually were. His golden hair was tousled and in great need of a wash and his sweet little ears with their soft fuzzy coating of hair were still, and with his smile missing they wouldn't shift up and down in the playfull way that they usually did.

His eyes. One of the main things that I missed about him. Hazel pools of serene laughter and happiness. Eyes that you could get lost in and still feel safe. Eyes that belonged to the man that I loved
