You approach the hospital door slowly and push it open. As you walk in, you look down at the flowers in your hand and hope that Niall will like them. You hope that Niall is okay.
You step in and talk to the nurse about what room Niall is in, and then you are sent to his room. As you approach the room, you look into the window and see Niall sleeping. You think about going away and coming back another time, but as you start to leave you see him wake up and smile at you. You walk into the small hospital room.
"Niall," you say calmly, "are you okay?"
He takes the flowers from you and sets them on a table with a pile of other things. He then takes both of your hands and kisses you on the cheek.
"Amy," he says, his accent strong as ever, "thank you."
"For what?"
He laughs briefly and looks back at you. "For finding me and helping me! If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead. Amy Buchanan, you saved my life. I can never be able to repay you for that. Thank you so much."
He kisses you again and lies down again, dropping your hands. Just then a nurse comes in to escort you out of the room. As you leave, you hear a hoarse Irish voice shout after you:
"Amy Buchanan, I love you and I will always love you."
Once again, you smile and continue walking.
