I was sitting in a chair next to Lexie’s bed holding her left hand in mine. She mentioned that the doctor had told her that they were cutting back on the sedation. I picked up Tai about forty-five minutes later and explained to her what had happened as we rode back to the hospital. He walked to the front door, opened it, and started firing on the three officers. I was still bent over the bed when the nurse walked into the room. I stopped on the way back and got Tai some chicken nuggets which she loved. I looked in and saw several people working on Lexie. Possibly late tonight or in the morning Lexie would wake up. Lexie was true to her word, and we lived together for many years although we never married. We all sat back down and waited with little to no conversation being had. I walked over and she stood up and hugged me still sobbing. Tai was fine with that, so I kissed her goodbye and Tessa left with her. “Yes, she just moved her hand a bit.”, I reported.
