Never Too Late
#36
He responded to Oriena, “I know, and it’s alright.” He nodded in the resolute way of a man who accepted things as they were because he genuinely felt he deserved it. There was also the burden of responsibility for selecting who to help, for he obviously could not heal the entire world, but neither could he bear the weight of choosing who received the miracle. Therefore, it was easier to let another make those choices, and if that was the Ascendancy, or even the Antichrist, it was cowardly, but it was all he had.

He watched Oriena leave, hoping she found the peace she needed before focusing completely on Nox. The healing was as much a place of serenity for Jensen as it was for Nox. After releasing his hand, the light from the Gift dimmed, and Jensen pondered Nox’s question. He barely knew Nox, yet he was comfortable around him for some reason.

"Nox, you don’t owe me anything. If you really want to repay me, how about we keep in touch? It’s not often I meet someone who understands the kind of oddities we’ve seen. It’d be good to have someone to talk to who gets it. Not to mention, another American.”

He moved off the bed, assuming a nurse would be in soon to disconnect his line and discharge him.
