Excerpt: I didn't get to her before I broke into tears, because when I looked down at her, I found her to be in a mass of bloody bandages, with tubes in her arms, and going down her throat. From what I could see of all of her face, but what I could see of it, it was swollen, her eyes were blackened and cheeks here were scraped up to the point she didn't look like the woman I knew. The monitor beside her was beeping so I glanced over at it. Though I wasn't sure what the numbers were I got the feeling, they weren't good. A line on the left side of the monitor was showing peaks and then flat spots confirming the numbers. “I'm sor…ry…, your…attempts didn't…,” she tried to say. “I love you… anyway.” “I love you…,” I started to say. I knew what she was referring to so she didn't have finish the statement. I reached out and took her hand, as I began to squeeze it; her eyes went blank with the monitor squealing to tell everyone her heart had stopped.
