My Favorite Major (Heroes Returned book 1)
“Olivia’s voice found his ears, twinged with a mix of humor and relief “—he wants you to call him Philip.”
Philip opened his eyes once more to find Amelia hovering over him. Her blue eyes met his, and she looked so weary, as though she hadn’t slept in a week. Even still, she was the most beautiful sight he’d ever seen. “So pretty,” he breathed out. She looked almost like an angel, like his angel.
Beside his bed, he couldn’t tell whether Olivia was laughing or crying. She rose to her feet and said, “I’ll send for Doctor Watts.” And then she was gone.
But Amelia was still there, still hovering right above Philip like an angelic protector. “Water, Amelia,” he whispered. “Please.”
Her blue eyes widened in surprise and she scrambled to a nearby pitcher and poured him a goblet. Then she was back at his side, tilting the water to his lips, helping him drink. Oh, what glorious water. Nothing had ever tasted so good.
“Do you remember what happened?” Amelia asked after he finished with the goblet.
