“When the car pulled up, Gideon knocked on Rebecca’s door. It opened almost instantly. He saw Rebecca’s pale face and he wanted to pull her into his arms and kiss her. Instead, he said, “The taxi is waiting.” She merely nodded. Her bottom lip was clenched between her teeth but he saw the tremor she was trying to hide. She was scared. He would be, too, if he were in her shoes. When he helped her into the backseat of the cab, he asked, “Bad night?” “I didn’t sleep much. My eyes feel as if they are... full of sand.” “The doctor said to expect that.” “I know, but it doesn’t make it easy to endure.” Vera came out of the room. “I miss my own bed. I will be glad to get home.” Gideon moved aside as Vera climbed in, then took a seat beside her. No one said what he knew they were all thinking. In a few minutes, they would know if Rebecca could see. He thought of all he’d given up to have her reach this point. He’d given up his business and friends. He’d given up the very thing he loved most besides Rebecca.MoreLessRead More Read Less
