He had to talk to the doctors for a good, long time to arrange something like this. To allow himself to do this, with Katelynn, on such a night was unheard of but he was passionate in his request. He begged. He even attempted to bribe with a free painting but seeing how badly he wanted it, the doctors and nurses allowed it.
It was half an hour to midnight when Jack arrived in Katelynn’s hospital room.
He quietly approached her bed, and brushed his hand against her shoulder.
“Katelynn…”
She moaned a bit, bringing her hand up to her face, her eyes opening slowly. She had been napping, the medication making her tired but when she looked up into familiar green eyes, she smiled.
“Jack..hi..What are you doing here so late?”
“Hi, Katelynn. Hi.” he smiled faintly in the darkness, shape only highlighted by the lights out in the hallway. “I have a surprise for you. One of the nurses is going to help you into a wheelchair in a while.”
