"Mr., please calm down. We need your full support here. She's waking up, but she's still numb from the anesthetic. She's probably very scared so if you would hold her hand-"

"Love, stay with me," he says. I imagine him in my mind, but it warps to the image of Louis covered in soap suds.

Harry!

I ignore my mind and try to sleep. My subconscious easily sweeps me off my feet, and I'm back into the darkness. I hear one last beep before the line goes blank and all is silent.
