When Prince Michael was done talking to the little boy, he realised Lucia was nowhere near him. He looked around the room for her as the doctor explained how the little boy tired easily and now needed sleep after all the excitement. His mother was by his bedside with a grateful but sad smile on her face.
Prince Michael nodded as his eyes scanned for Lucia, and then he saw her. She was just outside the door. He felt relief fill him as he had been fully prepared to turn the hospital upside down to find her. She smiled at him. She had such a sweet smile. He suddenly realised that she was responding to the unconscious smile on his face.
