I woke up. I didn't know if I had actually fallen asleep or they knocked me out. The room was dark, and I noticed Graham asleep in the chair in the corner. My hair was a mess and my jacket had been tossed on the floor. I turned on a little desk lamp that was on the table next to me.
I closed my eyes. I still had a headache, still had the IV in my hand and I had a breathing bag lying next to me. I my hands were very cold and so were my uncovered feet. I had been changed into a hospital gown and it felt like it was made of tissue paper. I pulled the blanket up to my chin and closed my eyes and dozed off again.
I woke up the next morning and Graham had the television on. He heard my sheets rustle when I propped myself up and he came over to me.
"Good morning," he said kissing my head. "How'd you sleep?"
"Okay I guess. I had a huge headache. How'd you sleeping, Sleeping Beauty?" I said smiling.
"That chair isn't too comfortable." he said.
"You didn't have to stay here."
"I did. I wanted to be here in case you needed something." he said. "Want some breakfast?"
"I'm not too hungry. But I'll get something if you want to eat it." I said smiling again. He ordered some bacon and eggs and I had a slice of bacon. My whole body was sore and Graham said my face was still pale.
"Hey, Graham, hand me my jacket please." I said, pointing to the floor. "Want to see a wedding dress I was looking at?" I asked.
"Yeah! Have you decided anything about the wedding?" he asked, looking at the magazine page I had brought out from my jacket.
"Where do you want to have it?" I asked.
"I was thinking maybe the church my parents got married, if it's okay with you. It would mean a lot to me." he said.
"Of course. I would love it." I said. "Mind if I take a nap? I'm really sore and tired."
"Yeah, go ahead. I am going to run some errands quick." he said kissing my forehead. "Bye, baby." Little did I know what surprise was headed my way.
