When a woman’s fiance is killed in an auto accident she decides to get revenge.
Beth and Norm came to see her just after he returned. He introduced himself to them. They talked for over an hour.
She slept most of the remainder of the day. He was at her side as much as he could till late in the evening, moving from the chair in the room to the waiting room and back as directed. He got up at nearly midnight, kissed her and left.
He was back Sunday at nine. She was asleep the whole morning. When he came back after lunch nurse told him they were reducing the amount of painkiller she was getting and she would have some pain. When he went in she was more awake and very restless. She kept saying, “Hurts.”
“I know. But it will get better.”
“I. Lied. Not Donna Nailor.”
“I know. But I love you. I don’t care if you are Donna or Debbie. In fact I like the name Debbie better.”
“But I. Tried to hurt you.”
“You made my life better. And when you found out you were wrong you tried to fix it.” He bent down and kissed her.
“Got hit by another drunk.”
Six weeks later.
Debbie rolled down the rehab hospital chapel aisle in her wheelchair. At the front Dan and Norm helped her stand on her artificial legs and take three steps forward for the ceremony. When it was over they helped her back to the chair. She was still a patient and had some time of but she had a pass from the floor to go there to be married and she had a pass to leave the hospital overnight. Her story made the newspapers and the best hotel in town offered their best suite for the night free.
In the room she changed into her night clothes and transferred from the chair to the bed. She sat and looked at him as he came over.
“I really don’t deserve you. I tried to hurt you.”
“Don’t you realize how much you have done for me? I was drowning in self pity the day you came to my room. You made a difference. How could I help but love you?”
