A week goes by.
Krayden was healing well. When he finally regained consciousness, Athena was so happy she embraced him without thinking.
"Thank the heavens you're awake!" She gasped, emotional.
She felt tears welling up in her eyes. But she fought them back She didn't want him to see her cry.
"So it really is you," Krayden chuckled lightly with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
"I thought I was dreaming when I saw you," He whispered, amused.
"What? Ho, you weren't dreaming. I was really there. You even kissed me," Athena's cheek grew warm as she recalled the kiss they shared.
"That I remember well," Krayden grinned.
She wanted to nudge him on the arm but decided not to. After all, he was still recovering!
"Now, tell me what I've missed. How long was I out for?"
