A week had passed since Stormi discovered she could communicate with Rex through their newly established system of "Love Taps." The routine had become a cherished part of her days, a way to bridge the gap between hope and despair. Each tap was a lifeline, a thread connecting her to the man she loved.

Stormi sat by Rex's bedside, her hand clasped tightly in his. The quiet hum of medical machinery was a constant reminder of the delicate balance they teetered on. Despite the small victories they’d achieved in their silent conversations, Stormi’s heart remained heavy with the weight of longing.

I want to feel his arms around me and his lips kissing mine once more, she thought wistfully. I’m happy we can talk, but this still sucks.

A gentle squeeze of her hand brought her back to the present. She looked at Rex’s face, searching for any sign of change.

“Are you awake?” she asked softly, her voice tinged with hope.

Rex’s response was immediate—a single tap of his fingers. Yes.

Stormi’s heart skipped a beat. “Do you think you feel any different? Like you might wake up soon?”

Rex’s reply was a double tap. No.

The weight of his words hung in the air, and Stormi’s resolve wavered. She forced herself to smile, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “It’s okay. We shouldn’t be greedy. We should be happy that we can at least talk this way. Right?”

Rex tapped once more. Yes.

Stormi took a deep breath, trying to stay positive. “Let’s just try and stay hopeful. The doctors said this is a good sign.”

Rex’s fingers tapped in agreement. Yes.

Yet, despite their hopeful dialogue, Stormi could see the frustration etched on Rex’s face. His tears glistened on his cheeks, a poignant reminder of his struggle.

“Rex… you’re crying,” Stormi said, her voice breaking. “Why? Please don’t cry. Everything will be okay.”

She leaned over, her fingers brushing away the tears. Gently, she pressed a tender kiss to his lips. It was a soft, lingering touch, filled with the depth of her feelings.

Rex’s mind swirled with confusion and hope. What is this? I felt her kiss me. I’m crying. Is this a good sign? Will I wake up soon?

Stormi pulled back, her eyes searching his. “I love you. Please don’t cry. I’m here with you always.”

Rex tapped once more. Yes.

“I’m going to talk to the doctor,” Stormi said, her heart racing with a mix of hope and urgency. “I’ll be right back.”

She hurried out of the room, her mind racing. When she spotted Dr. Andrews in the hallway, she called out, “Doctor! Doctor!”

Dr. Andrews turned, his expression attentive. “Yes? What’s wrong?”

“I told you before that I can communicate with Rex through finger taps,” Stormi explained, her voice trembling with excitement. “Just now, he cried, and when I kissed him, his lips seemed to twitch in response. Is this a good sign?”

Dr. Andrews’s eyes lit up with interest. “Let me check on him.”

The doctor entered Rex’s room with a sense of purpose. He methodically examined Rex’s vitals and observed the subtle changes. After a moment, he turned to Stormi with a smile.

“Miss, I have some good news for you,” Dr. Andrews said, his voice warm with encouragement.

Stormi’s heart leapt. “Really?”

“Yes,” Dr. Andrews confirmed. “It appears that Rex’s body is slowly starting to regain function. His will to fight is strong, and he’s making noticeable progress.”

“That’s great!” Stormi exclaimed, her joy palpable.

“Stay positive,” Dr. Andrews advised. “With continued progress, he may wake very soon.”

The doctor left with a few more instructions, but Stormi barely noticed. Her heart pounded with excitement, and she rushed back to Rex’s side.

“Rex, did you hear what the doctor said?” she asked eagerly.

Rex’s response was a firm tap. Yes.

“You’re going to wake up very soon,” Stormi said, tears of joy spilling down her cheeks. “I’m so happy! I bet you are too.”

Rex’s fingers tapped once. Yes.

In the quiet of the room, Stormi could see the tears streaming down Rex’s face again. “Are you so happy that you’re crying?”

Rex tapped once more. Yes.

Stormi’s own tears flowed freely as she leaned in to kiss him again. “Me too, my love,” she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. “I can’t wait to hug and kiss you again, to hear your voice, and just to be with you.”

Rex’s heart swelled with a mix of frustration and hope. I want to wake up so badly. I just need to hold on a little longer.

The room was filled with a quiet, poignant sense of anticipation. The connection between Stormi and Rex was stronger than ever, a beacon of hope in the darkness. They clung to the promise of tomorrow, a future where Rex would awaken, and their love would overcome the trials of this long, arduous journey.
