Memories shared Rucas

01 Saudade

Riley watches as he blinks heart beating exhilarating fast as happiness sweeps through her Her husband groans as he takes In his surroundings And as his doctor addresses him she wills herself to say something anything really But words cannot leave her

She wants to tell him how much she misses him and how She is so glad that she can be done missing him She wants to tell him how the past few months have been torture how she has been clinging onto the thread of hope as she waited for him to open his beautiful eyes She wants to tell him that she cannot wait for him to come home with her and that their friends and family were waiting for her to just say the word and they'll crowding around him

She wants to tell him so much But when his eyes land on her Her breath hitches Lucas blinks at her again confusion marring      handsome face and she gives him a shaky comforting smile

Lucas- Was anyone else hurt mam

His voice is raspy as he ask his gaze on her unwavering since he set his eyes on her

Riley's heart skips a beat when he addresses her

Riley- Wait you you know who I'm right

She stutters 

Lucas- I'm sorry Should I

He ask and her world stops

It feels as though they're the only two people In the room she can feel the panic rising in her but she squashes it down Taking a deep breath as she approaches her husband From the corner of her eye She sees Lucas doctor fumbling  with his patient's reports Riley gulps softly and gently waves her hand through Lucas right hand He looks at her In confusion And she wonders how much more  heartbreak she will be able to endure

Riley- Lucas

She breathes

Riley- I'm your wife

Tears spring into her eyes When he roughly pulls his hand    away at her words She wills herself to calm down trying to understand things from his point of view

Lucas is staring at her eyes wide with disbelief She watches as panic etches onto her husband's face When he holds out his right hand The wedding band on his ring finger glistens under the light and it's the way he looks at it as though he Is seeing it for the first time that pushes her over the edge

Riley- I'll uh

Riley's voice cracks as she tries to find her words

Riley- I'll be back

She runs

A few months ago

Riley- This is amazing

Riley giggles as she presses her head against his back A large smile spreads across his face and he promises himself to bring her to the ranch again next year The beam she had sent him earlier when he told her that they were going on a ride on Daisy The white horse Riley had a soft spot for when they were first introduced had made him feel as though he was heaven If he could spend the rest of his life making sure that smile never fell from her face He would die a happy man
