Chapter 17 - Noah’s Last Chance
Noah’s treatment began in New York.
Elena sat beside him.
Nico waited outside because Noah had insisted.
“He’s pacing,” Noah whispered.
“How do you know?”
“I can hear his expensive shoes.”
Elena laughed.

Not a miracle.
Hope.

Elena walked into the hallway.
Nico stood immediately.
“Well?”
She tried to speak.
Couldn’t.
Then she smiled.
Nico understood.
He wrapped his arms around her.
She cried against his chest.
“He has a chance.”
Nico closed his eyes.
“That’s all we needed.”
Elena looked up.
“We?”
