Lucian's POV TWO MONTHS LATER The hospital felt colder today. Maybe it was just me or maybe it was the weight of expectations resting heavily on my shoulder Again I was here for therapy, Rhoda by my side as always. I hated how routine it had become, rolling into the hospital like a man waiting for scraps of hope But I kept showing up. Mostly because of her. I wanted to stand and kiss her. I wanted to hold her by the waist and trap her against the wall while on my feet I wanted to watch my kids run to me after a long day at work and carry them in my arms. I couldn't do all of that while sitting so I had to be better and make sure I started standing on my feet again. The therapy session was intense. My legs felt like they were on fire, every muscle screaming and every bone resist
