It seemed like there was barely a day that passed by where Alisa wasn't put into some sort of crazy, life-threatening situation. Ryan was hard-pressed to think of anyone who had worse luck than she did.

He'd waited a couple of days before visiting, but he finally arrived with a bouquet of flowers - bright yellow Gerbera daisies, sunny daisy poms, and warm sunflowers. Everything bright and cheerful. He gently set the vase of flowers next to Alisa's bed and took a seat, patiently waiting for her to awaken.
