IN LOVE FOR US
I said softly, "I’m ready to fulfill your wish. I’ll marry Lenore if you wake up."
His hand twitched.
I repeated myself, louder this time, trying to force a reaction. "Dad, I’ll marry her. If that’s what you want, just wake up." His fingers moved again, a small but noticeable twitch.
Then I turned to Lenore. "Come here," I said. "Speak to him."
She looked uncertain but did as I asked. Her voice was soft, almost trembling. "Mr. Knight," she began, "I... I love Trent. I need you to wake up. If you wake up, we’ll get married. We’ll make it happen, just for you."
