When I woke again, the hospital room was quiet. I reached up to touch my face first. Feeling the gauze, I had my answer.
Atlas had fallen asleep at my bedside. The moment I moved, he woke up. Seeing my eyes open, he stood up right away. "Elara, you're awake? I'll go get the doctor."
I shook my head, struggled to sit up, and grabbed his arm. "Where's the camera?"
Atlas stiffened slightly, his gaze darting away.
A wave of panic surged through me, and I asked again. "Where's my dad's camera?"
"I put it away," Atlas said, holding my arm.
"Give it to me."
Atlas frowned. "Why do you want to look at that now? The doctor said you can't get too emotional."
I was getting a little annoyed. I just wanted the camera back. "It's mine."
He stared at me for a few seconds, then finally relented. "
