Tiffany laid in the dark glaring out the window. The hospital bed was so uncomfortable. Tiffany heard the door open. She quickly closed her eyes, not wanting to look at another fowl faced nurse as she messed over her monitors and stuck more needles into her.
She was pleasantly surprised when she felt soft lips on her forehead instead. She opened her eyes to see Ace sitting down in a chair across from her.
"Ace?" Tiffany called through the darkness.
"Hey! I hope I didn't wake you."
"No!" Tiffany said shaking her head, "I'm wide awake."
Ace smiled. He missed the sound of her voice so much. "Okay if you say so," he said taking her hand gently trying not to pull on the IV she had in her hand.
Ace's hands were soft and warm and made Tiffany feel safe. "I've missed you." Ace said in a saddened voice.
"How did you get past the nurses?" Tiffany asked ignoring him.
Ace smirked deviously, "A true magician never reveals his secrets,"
"Ace really." Tiffany said tilting her head to the side sweetly.
"Okay, okay," Ace said putting his hands up defensively, "I used my boyish charm."
She raised an eyebrow, "Ace, that's not fair to the hormone raged nurses." Tiffany laughed shaking her head.
Ace loved hearing Tiffany laugh again, but it wasn't the same her laugh wasn't as whimsical and sounded broken. He smiled sadly stroking her red soft red hair. "It seems to work on you just fine." He joked.
He missed Tiffany. His heart ached and he couldn't help but think it was his fault she was in the hospital in the first place. "Tiffany," Ace buried his face in her hair, "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you."
Tiffany could feel her hair getting wet and she wasn't sure if Ace was crying or drooling on her. She didn't want to think of Ace crying so she leaned toward the second choice....
