Many hours later….
In Gabrielle's room sat Josephine at Gabrielle's bedside, watching her as she slept.
Josephine grabbed on to Gabrielle's hand holding on to it tightly.
"You saved my life… I'm supposed to be your Lady in Waiting, protecting you, making sure you're okay and you risk everything to save my life," She whispered, tears dropping on to Gabrielle's hand, "Why, why'd you do it… Why'd you save me… Why did you risk everything for me… You knew you were in pain, I know you felt it, yet you didn't hesitate to save me… You're my best friend so please… Please get better… Please, I have to apologize… I have to make things right… I have to… Why did you risk it, why?"
"Because you're my best friend," Gabrielle groggily muttered, slowly opening her eyes.
Josephine stood to her feet, her body jolting in surprise as she darted her eyes down, seeing Gabrielle's eyes open.
"You're awake," She cried, jumping up and down, "You're finally awake."
