Gunner woke up slowly feeling groggy. He rose his hand and rubbed his head. His hand slowly drifted down to his neck. He felt the bandage before he sat up quickly. He looked around himself again. A nurse walked over to him seeing the wild look in his eye, "Welcome back," she said softly, "You should lie back down."

Gunner shook his head, "Anna," He croaked. 

The nurse smiled, "She is fine. Let me get her for you. But you stay on the bed."

Gunner nodded and let her leave the room. However, the moment Anna walked in, no red in her eye, he jumped up from his bed. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, burying his face in her hair. Then, he started to cry, "I thought I lost you."
