Lucien

I had never particularly enjoyed hospital discharges. They involved too much paperwork, too many instructions and an unreasonable number of people insisting they knew what was best for the patient.

Elara’s was no different.

Vivienne wanted her sister to go home with her, arguing that she would be better off somewhere familiar, with someone who understood her medical needs. Elliot disagreed. He wanted to take his wife home.

His wife.

    LucienI had never particularly enjoyed hospital discharges. They involved too much paperwork, too many instructions and an unreasonable number of people insisting they knew what was best for the patient.Elara’s was no different.Vivienne wanted her sister to go home with her, arguing that she would be better off somewhere familiar, with someone who understood her medical needs. Elliot disagreed. He wanted to take his wife home.His wife.I stood a short distance away, listening to them go back and forth while Elara sat in her wheelchair, looking between the three of us.“I can look after her,” Vivienne insisted. “I’m a doctor, Elliot. I know what she needs right now.”“And I’m her husband,” Elliot replied. “I can look after her too.”“That’s not what I’m questioning. She still needs supervision, and I don’t think you understand how much assistance she might require.”“I understand that she’s recovering from an accident. I was there when she woke up, and I’ve been visiting her every

    ElaraThe pain started behind my eyes.I pressed my fingers against my temples, trying to ease the pressure while Vivienne sat beside my bed with a notebook in her lap.“Try to remember what happened on your wedding day,” she said.I looked at her. “I’ve already told you. I don’t remember what happened after the wedding.”“I’m not asking about the accident, Elara. I’m asking about the wedding.”“What’s the difference?”She sighed and set the notebook aside. “You remember heading from work to the wedding, don’t you?”“Yes.”“And what happened after that?”I frowned, trying to follow her question. “I was supposed to get married to Elliot.”“I know. But do you remember anything else? Anything unusual? Did something happen between you and Elliot?”My head began to throb.I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate. There was something there, just beyond my reach. Whenever I tried to push past it, the pain grew worse, spreading from behind my eyes to the back of my head.I winced and brought

    LucienI was getting into the car when my phone vibrated in my pocket.Philip stood beside the open door, waiting for me to settle in. I glanced at the screen, expecting another message from Sebastian about the following day’s schedule.Two words from Clara.She’s awake.I read them again, my hand resting against the car door. My chest tightened, and I felt my heartbeat pick up with an intensity I hadn’t experienced in weeks.Elara was awake.I looked up at Philip. “Take me to St. Catherine’s Hospital. Now.”He immediately closed the door and moved towards the driver’s side. I got into the back seat, my phone still in my hand.“How is she?” I typed, but before I could send the message, I stopped. Clara was at the hospital. I would get the answers when I arrived.I leaned back, trying to steady my breathing, but it was difficult to concentrate on anything beyond those two words.She’s awake.For three weeks, I had waited to hear them. I had spent nights beside her bed, watching the mon

    Elara“Darling, have you seen his shoes?”I looked towards the hallway, where Elliot stood with one hand resting against the doorframe. He was already dressed for work, his shirt tucked neatly into his trousers, but our son was making it difficult for him to leave the house.“He took them off in the sitting room,” I said, fastening the last button on the little shirt I was holding.Elliot glanced towards the sitting room. “Of course he did.”“He’s two, Elliot. I don’t think he understands the importance of keeping his shoes in one place.”“He understands perfectly well when he wants something.”I laughed and picked up our son, who had been busy playing with the buttons on my blouse. He immediately reached for my hair, wrapping a small fist around a loose strand.“Easy, sweetheart. Mummy needs that.”Elliot returned a moment later with a tiny shoe in his hand. He held it up triumphantly. “Found one.”“And the other?”He looked at me.I smiled. “Good luck.”Our son began to wriggle in m

    LucienA week had passed since the accident.Elara was no longer in intensive care. Her condition had stabilised enough for the doctors to move her into a private room, though she remained unconscious. I made sure she had the best room the hospital could offer, with everything she needed and a nurse close by to monitor her.Our visits had gradually settled into a routine.Clara came in the mornings, usually staying until she had to leave for work. Vivienne visited during her lunch break, sometimes bringing food or staying a little longer if her schedule allowed. Neither of them said anything about the nights, but I assumed they were leaving those hours for me.I didn’t mind.I had work to do anyway.My laptop sat open on the desk across the room, with several emails waiting for my attention. I had spent most of the evening going through reports, responding to business associates and reviewing the latest correspondence concerning the exhibition.The media had spent the entire week disc

    LucienI had been thinking about Elara for most of the morning.It was becoming a habit, one I hadn’t bothered trying to break. Even after she left, I kept remembering little things she said. Her complaints about being late, the way she had laughed when I told her not to drink too much with Clara, and the expression on her face when I mentioned the Airbnb.I caught myself smiling at my laptop and shook my head.There was still work to be done before the exhibition, but I was in no particular hurry. Everyone had been given the day to rest before tomorrow’s event, and I intended to do the same once I finished.My phone rang.Sebastian’s name appeared on the screen.I answered. “Sebastian.”“Lucien, where are you?”“At home. Why?”“Elara’s been in an accident. I’m on my way to the hospital now.”I stopped moving. “What?”“Elara. She’s been hit by a car. I’m heading to the hospital. I’ll send you the address.”“Which hospital?”He told me.I ended the call, grabbed my keys and coat, and h
