Verity barely looked back at Theo when he said her name, although she felt a little more calm just having him there. When he held her she broke, finally, sobbing.
"I don't know, I don't know, Theo," she shook her head, clinging to what she could reach of him. "I was taking a nap and when I woke up the elves said he was sleeping in the lawn and that's where I found him, Theo it's like before," and with that she could speak for the sobs that had over taken her.
Because it was like before. He was in a coma just as George had been in a coma and when he woke up he would not remember their marriage and probably not remember their children either. He would be a different man- not a man who loved her. How could she have taken that risk again? And who was haunting her, putting the men she loved into comas?
