"Memories are the treasures that we keep locked deep within the storehouse of our souls, to keep our hearts warm when we are lonely."  ~Becky Aligada

Mira entered the room, Julius laid still on the bed, his breath a little rasp, the oxygen pipe connected to his mouth made sure of it.

He had woken up the day before at the hospital which was late into the night and preparation was made to transfer him yesterday and now he's home receiving every other treatment.

Mira feels so good seeing him getting better each passing moment. She'd excused herself for him to rest after the doctor's checkup this morning, he woke up not long ago.

However, him getting better still didn't fill the anger she is feeling towards herself for everything that has happened.

How could she have been so insensitive all along? Now that everything is out in the open, she can't find it in herself to face him, yet she can't leave his side.

She has a lot to tell Julius, yeah, that explanation he needed to hear and before she could do that, she has to come out to him. She has to tell him she is Bailey, but courage and confidence is what she is lacking at the sight of him.

And her heart breaks at the thought and what made it even worse is that he already knows who she really is.

Julius watched as she made it to him, tray in hand. He noticed she wouldn't look him in the eye since he woke up with his senses working.

It was like that yesterday and now again. Though his head has been fuzzy, he however knew she is avoiding his eyes and he has got to gather strength to make her.

"Hi," Mira avoided eye contact and placed what now contains salad and fruits by the table. "How are you feeling now?"

Julius gave no reply but watch her as she served salad and some water, he had motioned her not to serve fruit.

"Your hands are shaky," he commented slowly. The pipe covering his mouth muffled his words and he hated it that she is not looking his way still. "Is everything alright?"

"Just a little and yeah," Mira wanted a miracle to happen. Like someone coming in through the door to check on him. "Ah, reminds me, Bella and the boys are here."

"Dad told me when he popped in minutes ago," he said noting the hastiness in her voice like she wants to be out of here.

He noticed how gloomy and down she looked when it was just them in the room and once there's another person, she is always so eager to escape or use them as cover up at least until they once again leave them.
