(Mira)
When we got to the hospital, I walked straight to Ridge's room. Crash stayed in the hallway.
I opened the door.
Ridge was awake. Sitting up in bed. Looking better than yesterday.
He smiled when he saw me. "Hey."
"Hey." I walked over. Kissed him. "How are you feeling?"
"Better. Still hurts, but better."
I sat down in the chair next to the bed. "Did you sleep okay?"
"Yeah. The pain meds help."
"Good."
We sat in silence for a moment. Just being together.
Then Ridge said, "You look tired."
"I'm fine."
"Mira."
"I didn't sleep well. That's all."
"Nightmares?"
I nodded.
"About what?"
"Tyler."
Ridge reached for my hand. "He's not going to get to you. I promise."
"You can't promise that."
"Yes, I can. The lockdown is still in place. No one gets in or out. You're safe."
