Miranda and Blake?

Hospital

Blake

I pulled into a parking spot at Mercy General Hospital.

I carried Miranda into the hospital.

"Name?"

"Miranda Lambert."

The nurse at the reception desk looked up.

"What happened?"

"Some moron slit her throat."

"Alright. We have to take her back to surgery immediately." A Doctor ordered.

I placed Miranda down on the gurney.

They rolled her away.

Kylie (Doctor)

We stitched up Miranda's throat, stopping the bleeding.

It was gonna scar over but the scar would never go away.

We cleaned up the cuts on her face.

They would also scar over but the scars won't ever go away.

"Get her transferred into the ICU."

"Right away, Doctor."

A nurse got in the process of having Miranda transferred into the ICU.

Blake

I was calling Bev.

"Blake, hey."

"It's Miranda."

"What happened?"

"Some guy came after her. She obviously got in a fight with him. He had slit her throat."

"Oh, my God."

"She's back in surgery. But I will be heading down to Texas with her when she's discharged."

"Yeah. Thanks for telling me."

"Of course."

I hung up.

Luke walked in.

"Man, I heard what happened."

We hugged.

"I know how it feels."

"Mm."

"Caroline got taken once too. Only she didn't put up as much a fight as Miranda did. Your Wife is strong. She's gonna pull through. Don't you worry about a thing. Now, her singing career might be over."

"Yeah."

"Or at least, put on hold for a while."

"Yeah."

Four hours later

"Lambert?"

I stood up.

"We stitched up your Wife's throat. She's back in the ICU. She's still asleep. But you can come back."

I followed the Doctor back to a hospital room.

She slid a sliding glass door open.

Miranda was asleep.

Her throat was sewn shut.

The marks on her face were sewn too.

She had an Oxygen mask on her face.

Miranda's hands were stacked on top of each other on her stomach.

The Doctor left.

An hour later

Miranda groaned.
