Knock knock!

There was a knock on Avaleigh's hospital room door. When she heard the sound, her heart immediately began to race. 

Avaleigh turned around with anticipation and saw the face that she had been waiting for all morning. The previous night, when she woke up from her surgery, she was told that the visiting hours were over so no visitors were allowed. Thus, she had been waiting until the morning to see Emerson.

"What took you so long?" she pouted cutely. Although she was a little pale and weak, she still looked beautiful. Emerson walked over with some bags and replied, "I went to get breakfast for you." He then pulled out an insulated bowl and placed it in front of her.

Avaleigh lifted off the lid with curiosity and the flavors from a delicious steamy broth quickly filled the room and immersed her senses. She recognized the broth straight away. It was a serving of wonton noodles from her favorite wonton restaurant.
