"She's strong enough. She can handle it. Why don't you stop. Stop pacing. Stop getting yourself so worked up. And stop looking at her like that," Dylan said.

It's too much for her. Can't you see that? It would be too much for anyone," Paulo said as he approached Hope's bed.
"And stop holding her hand while you're at it," Paulo said as he storms out of the room.
With that Hope awakens. Fever gone. Refreshed.
Ever ready.
