In less than a minute, the blaring alarm faded into silence.

Her words were barely a whisper as she murmured, "Eric, it's all in the past... all... past..." Hadley's eyes remained firmly closed.

Her voice cracked, and then steadied as she pressed on. "I will move on, and I will forgive you, I will forgive your lack of love, the cold distance it created... everything." Tears pooled at the edges of her eyes.
Forcing a faint smile, Hadley whispered, "I've released my anger toward you. I'm setting you free, and setting myself free."
She inhaled deeply, her chest aching softly. "So you have to wake up! You have to survive or my forgiveness, my release-it will all mean nothing, won't it?" Outside the room, Ferris had returned unnoticed and saw Hadley weeping.
