going great too. They were enjoying living with each other immensely and had even started browsing real estate listings on the computer, searching for a house that they could buy together. Scott couldn’t remember ever being so happy. He was in a relationship with a great lady who he thought the world of, they had lots of fun together, he had a great job, they had no financial worries and the climate where they lived was perfect. Everything was perfect, Scott literally felt like he was dreaming every single day. But everything was about to change.
     
       It was late Friday afternoon. The sun was beginning to set over the Pacific Ocean. It had been another fabulous late fall day in Southern California. Tiffany was at home. She’d finished work early that day and was busy making dinner for when Scott arrived home. She was expecting him anytime now. He’d also finished work early as he had a doctor’s appointment to follow up on the head injury he sustained in Baghdad. Tiffany heard a car pull up on the driveway and within a couple of minutes she heard the front door open. She walked across the kitchen towards the living room to greet Scott. As soon as she saw him she knew something was wrong, his head was down and he wasn’t smiling and walking towards her for a hug and kiss like he usually did.
       “Scott, are you okay?” she said nervously as she approached him.
       “I’m nae sure,” he replied quietly as he put his arms around her.
       “What is it? What did the doctor say?”
    Scott took her hand and led her towards the couch, they sat down, still hand in hand.
       “They did a scan on my head, apparently there’s a small mass near the injury site. He said it may nae be anything tae worry aboot but he wants tae do more tests, and maybe a biopsy.”
       “So what did he think it could be?” Tiffany asked, looking deep into his eyes. She was shaking but was trying to hide it.
       “He would nae tell me, he just said he needed tae do more tests. I’m trying nae tae worry too much.”
       “So when do you have to go back for the tests?”
       “He booked me in for Monday morning.”
       “Okay, I’ll come with you,” she said gripping his hand as tightly as she could.
    The weekend went very slowly. Although they probably should have tried to keep busy, Scott didn’t really feel like doing much. He was pre tty down, although he was trying his best not to think about it, it was virtually impossible not to.
     
       It was another bright sunny morning when Scott and Tiffany arrived at the hospital on Monday. The doctor had done some further checks on the scans and had determined it would be best if Scott had a biopsy done. He also wanted blood samples from Scott so that was taken care of while the biopsy was being arranged. It was going to be done there, that same day. It was an outpatient procedure and would only take a couple of hours but a general anesthetic was necessary. So it was good that Tiffany was there to drive him home. Scott was a little nervous as he was prepped for the procedure. The thought of someone drilling a hole into his skull and inserting a needle into his brain was disconcerting. Even though the doctor had tried to assure him it was a very small fine hole and needle, it wasn’t helping very much. Just before Scott was taken away for the anesthetic, Tiffany got the chance to talk to him. She bent over and kissed him, whilst holding his hand, and assured him she’d be there waiting to see him as soon as he woke up.
     
       The next couple of hours went very slowly for Tiffany. She watched TV and read some magazines in the waiting room. Before finally a nurse came in and told her Scott was awake and everything had gone well with the procedure. Even though she’d only been apart from him for a small amount of time, she was still very happy to see him and excitedly entered the room where Scott was coming around. He was still a little groggy but was awake.
