Iestyn nodded agreement. "Joey is wonderful. He's done so much for us." He looked at Addy, then rested his head on her shoulder and nestled against her.
There were moments, like this, where he forgot for a moment what they're been through, when Addy was being silly and sweet and he felt a little better. When he got to touch and hold her and tell her she would be ok and believe it. And then he'd remember and it would all come crashing back. He held on to Addy's other hand, being careful of her wires and tubes, and sighed, his smile melting away.
