Loving Her Softly (3 page)

“Thank you,” she says.

I nod.

“It was the least I could do,” I tell her. “You needed help and I was more than willing to lend a hand. You’re more than welcome.”

Her head turns away for a second and then, back to me.

“Not just for saving my life,” she admits, “But for the kiss. I needed that. It gave me hope for something I didn’t expect to find.”

I stop in the doorway.

“Hope for what?” I question

She looks down at the floor.

“Hope for seeing you again,” she says. “You will come visit tomorrow won’t you?”

I nod again.

“Yes,” I agree. “I will visit every day if you want me to.”

We exchange one last smile as I step into the hall.

“Christian,” the young woman says.

I speak quickly.

“Yes,” I reply.

“You never asked me my name,” she tells me, “My name is Caroline, Caroline Heart…”

I pause for a moment, repeating it inside my head, remembering it so that I would never forget.

While walking down the hall passing patients and medical staff, I never felt more excited and thrilled about any one girl in my entire life.

I know fighting for her won’t be easy and I know staying away from her might be the best option because she’s already taken. But I can’t stand by and let her make the biggest mistake of her life, drowning herself at night in her own tears, wondering what if. We both owe this to ourselves after all. What better chance is there to take than one that can lead us to our ultimate destination, down the
unpredictable road of love
?
