"Thomas-" Lena leaned down and she kissed Thomas' cheek carefully. "Oh god-" A nurse was passing and Lena nearly leaped across the aisle to grab her. "Please! Is he- Is he going to be okay?" she asked, pointing at Thomas.
As the nurse answered, Lena only heard the important words. Not out of the woods. Broken ribs and arm and leg. Punctured lung they had had to re-inflate. Possible head and internal injuries. Possible coma. No way to know. Waiting game. Further tests.
Lena felt like she had been kicked in the heart and that was when she spotted Aidan lying in the bed beside Thomas. She let out a wail and covered her eyes.
