Show 88. "When I count to three you'll wake up. And you'll remember everything. One . . . you're coming back now . . . two . . . you'll be wide awake . . . three!" He clapped his hands on the third count and then repeated it. "Three!" JD didn't move. Stephanie, kneeling beside him, gently shook his shoulder. They could see the turmoil had stopped. His face relaxed, but for the longest time he didn't open his eyes. "You can wake up now, JD," Chic said softly. "Can you open your eyes? Can you see us?" Slowly, as if he'd been sleeping for hours, JD opened his eyes. He straightened, rubbed his hand over his face, then looked from Stephanie to Chic. "Was I under very long?" Stephanie turned away, looking like she might cry. Chic himself sighed with relief and took a deep breath before he answered. "Long enough!" he said. |
