His Tears, My Freedom (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)
“I intend to keep them. I don’t want to know why you saved me. I just want this to be the last time our paths cross.”
He opens his mouth to argue and then the door opens. The doctor steps in, then Lior, who stands just inside the doorway. Lior looks between us and says, voice clipped, “The doctor is here. I think you should rest.” The doctor nods, professional and steady. “We’ll check you and let you rest,” he says.
I manage a small smile and nod. Let the doctor do his job. Let the rest happen. I let them tend to me, and when the room slowly empties around the edges, exhaustion pulls at me like tidewater.
