The doctor proffered solace, his voice a soothing balm.
“It's perfectly normal, rest assured. Dreaming amidst hypnotherapy signifies
hope. Some individuals even find memory elusive during such sessions.”
He continued, “This serves as a promising inception. The convalescence shall
demand its due time. The trauma from the car accident was severe, and even
with hypnotherapy, full recollection isn’t assured. You need to be mentally
prepared for that.”
Holden nodded distantly, his temples receiving a gentle rub.
“You may depart for now. I require a moment of solitude.”
Once the doctor left, Holden sank wearily into the sofa, palms tenderly
massaging his temples. A pervasive sense of helplessness surged, a realm
beyond his mastery. The absent memories bore down on his heart, an incessant
thorn.
Within the hospital's hushed sanctuary, a sudden longing to see Ariana seized
Holden.
Intent on visiting her, he rose. Yet, upon reaching her door, he was met with
surprise: Mitchel stood within, keeping her company.
Mitchel was engrossed in a lively conversation with Ariana while meticulously
organizing some of their belongings. Neatly packed bags lay close by, and the
two of them chatted and chuckled, exuding the warmth of an affectionate couple.
Outside the hospital room, Holden stood in quiet contemplation, his gaze fixed on
Ariana’s visage, which was adorned with a radiant smile that seemed to dance in
the light.
Ariana’s smile, though enchanting, was a rare sight for Holden. In days gone by,
her laughter had been his invitation to join in merriment. Now, an unseen weight
settled in his chest, firm as a boulder.
Suddenly, an irrational impulse surged within him, a surge to intrude upon the
room and bid Mitchel away, to claim his place by Ariana’s side.

But what right did he have?
The pressure in Holden's chest became almost unbearable, and he summoned a
bitter smile.
He held no standing, no recognized claim. Even his bond with Ariana remained
shrouded, veiled in a delicate secrecy that must not be breached.
To this point, their acquaintance had remained unofficial. To Ariana, he was but a
shadow, while Mitchel basked openly by her side, free to step into the Light.
Holden's phone chimed twice, drawing his attention. Retrieving it, he walked
away and found a video message from Sadie.

turning and walking away.
