Chapter 10 - A Reason to Smile
The positive news brought a dramatic shift in Sarah's mood.
She started eating more, regaining some of her lost weight.
Her laughter echoed in the hospital room, a sound David had missed dearly.
They spent the afternoon watching their favorite comedy movies.
Even the nurses noticed the vibrant change in her energy.
She began to walk around the ward, leaning heavily on David's arm.
Every step was a triumph, a declaration of her will to live.
They celebrated with a small slice of chocolate cake.
It was a simple pleasure, but it tasted like victory.
Sarah looked at herself in the mirror for the first time in weeks.
She touched her bald head, no longer seeing a victim of cancer.
She saw a warrior who was winning the hardest battle of her life.
David stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"You are the most beautiful woman in the world," he told her.
