When Amanda fainted, the only thing she kept repeating was a single name.
And when she finally woke, she found the very person she had been calling for sitting across from her.
For a moment, it felt like a dream. A dream she was somehow seeing with her eyes open, leaving her mind too numb to make sense of what was happening.
She did nothing but rise from the bed, trudge forward on unsteady legs, and collapse into his arms.
"Kyle…" she breathed, feeling his warmth envelop her.
She lifted her arms and held him tightly.
"Kyle… Kyle… Kyle…"
She kept repeating his name, as though saying it aloud was the spell keeping the dream from fading.
Kyle held her just as tightly, gently drawing her into his embrace. He let out a soft sigh before whispering, "I'm here."
From the side, Veronica watched in silence. Her heart finally eased as she saw Amanda reunite with the man they had both come searching for.
