Charity's Angel
“Sunlight poured in through the window, spilling across the bed. From where she lay, she could see a slice of bright blue sky and a fluffy white cloud.
Maybe because for1 the first time since the robbery she was waking in a home, not a hospital room, her first urge was to get up and go to the window. She wanted to throw it open and draw in a deep breath of fresh air.
She threw back the covers, eager to do just that. And reality came crashing over her, shattering the sparkling mood, makin...g the blue sky seem gray and overcast. Instead of sitting up and swinging her legs off the bed, she was stuck lying there like a bundle of old rags.
The disappointment was so acute, she felt tears burn her eyes. She forced them back and drew in a deep breath. Crying wasn't going to change things, she reminded herself briskly. The doctors said she just needed time to heal. If she kept up with her physical therapy and clung to that hope, she'd be walking again before she knew it.MoreLess
