Elle was not going to lie. Things had been tough, there were many times when Elle's doubt had nearly overwhelmed her. First in the hospital when she had not known when Gio would wake up. And then after he had woken up and she had been forced to stand back and watch as he slowly pushed her away.
But now, things were finally looking up. The future no longer a murky road ahead of them, but something Elle could see the two of them walking into hand in hand.
Adjusting to change was not easy, but it was like once Gio's mindset shifted, so too had Elle's. She was no longer constantly worried about him.
And without worry eating away at her, she was suddenly free to do other things. She was studying with him now. He was improving more rapidly than her.
