Alexander paused with utter confusion.

"I am?" he asked.

"Of course you are! I understand now, why you are here."

"No, no you don't, you speak of lies." I rested my hand on his and then with a quick gesture he moved away.

"My love you are here to protect..." suddenly I lost my breath and felt my heart beat speed up to slow down.

"You?" he asked as he helped me settle on the hospital bed. I couldn't help but mumble as I tried to speak.

"Them..."

Alexander paused and held her cold hands in his. Regretting ever pulling his away out of fear.
