Marcus's POVI woke before the alarm rang, and for a moment, I didn’t move. I just lay there, staring at Astrid’s face beside me. The morning light slipped through the curtains, resting softly on her skin. She looked too innocent and peaceful for everything circling around us.“I pray this ends soon,” I murmured under my breath.I leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.I was about to get up when her fingers curled into the edge of my shirt, holding me there.A small smile tugged at my lips. Even in sleep, she was still holding onto me.I carefully removed her fingers and stood, watching to make sure I hadn’t woken her. She shifted slightly but didn’t open her eyes.I went into the bathroom, brushed quickly, and let the cold water hit my face longer than necessary.When I was done, I changed into something simple and headed downstairs to make breakfast.By the time I finished making breakfast, the smell of toast and eggs filled the kitchen.I heard her footsteps before

The surgery was successful.”My knees almost gave up beneath me.Thank God Marcus is alive.The breath I released felt like it had been trapped in my lungs for hours.“He's not awake yet,” the doctor added gently. “But for now he's stable.”“Can I see him,” I asked, my voice barely audible.“You can see him in the next few minutes,” he said.I nodded but tears were already sliding down my face.
