She wasn't expecting him to be there, even through the doctors reassurances that he was OK, she had feared for his safety. She wrapped her arms around him, in an embrace. Quiet for a moment, thankful he was there to catch her when she stumbled, relieved he was safe. "you... You don't have to be sorry, you are safe, you are here."
He asked how she was feeling, and she frowned, she wasn't happy with the time it was taking, but the doctors seemed to be pleased with how she was recovering "I am... I'm on my feet, it still hurts, and I am frustrated.... The simple things, it's almost imp... I will get there" she sighed and shook her head. The process was a slow one, but she had made a lot of progress in the time he was away. She moved back a fraction and studied his face, making sure for herself he was there and he was well. "you were gone for what felt like an eternity. Are you OK? I was worried."
