When Love Comes Late

“Yeah?” Matthew gently tucked her hair behind her hair to get a clearer view of her face.

“Hungry?”

“Yeah.

But my hand hurts.

” Her voice was tender and gentle.

Matthew smiled lovingly at her.

“Do want cereal?”

She nodded her head in response.

A few moments passed, and Matthew walked back to the side of her bed with a bowl in hand.

He lifted a spoonful and blew on it gently.

“The doctor said you should eat something light.

I promise to take you out for something better once you’re feeling okay.

”

“Oh…I see,” Stella replied.

She was still feeling weak so she ate slowly, but Matthew was patient.

Finally regaining some energy, she asked, “How long has it been since I was unconscious?”

“Two days.

You’ve been unconscious for two days,” Matthew said softly after a brief pause.

“I’m sorry for worrying you.

” Stella felt slightly guilty.

“ALL I care about is that you’re okay.

I’m more than willing to do anything for you.

” His gaze was unwavering.

Stella stared at him as she tried to conjure up words, but she didn’t know what to say.

“Stop trying to think of what to say.

I need you to rest.

” Matthew gently ruffled her hair.

Stella sucked in her bottom lip and nodded in response.

Some minutes passed and she finished the rest of the cereal.

“Matthew, go home and rest.

I’ll be okay.

The nurses will take care of me.

”

“I’m good,” Matthew replied without hesitation.

“Just close your eyes and rest.

I’ll stay with you.

”

Stella sighed in defeat.

She knew there was no way she was winning.

After a moment of thinking she suggested, “What if you rest here?”

She was sincerely worried about him.

He looked like he hadn’t slept well in days.

His body screamed for rest so he finally caved in.
