He’s startled awake, raising his head so suddenly my hand falls weakly back
onto the bed.
“Hi,” I croak.
“Oh, Ana.” His voice is choked and relieved. He grasps my hand, squeezing
it tightly and holding it up against his rough, stubbled cheek.
“I need to use the bathroom,” I whisper.
He gapes then frowns at me for a moment. “Okay.”
I struggle to sit up.
“Ana, stay still. I’ll call a nurse.” He quickly stands, alarmed, and reaches for a
