Then John said, "Louise! You got
to get well!"
"Why?" she whispered.
"You've got to do it for me. I need you."
John hesitated, and his voice choked.
"I love you."
Her pulse almost surged.
"You never told me." She said.
He said, "I never thought I had to."
The pulse was steady now.

"John," she said,
"tell me again."
He hesitated, and then repeated the words.
"I love you, Louise. More than anything in the
world. I love you and I need you, and by God, I'm
going to make you well!"
The doctor removed the needle from her wrist and
took the plasma bottle from the rack beneath the towel
and set them aside. He checked her pulse again. It
was impossible, but there it was steady and strong.
"How you doing over there?" John asked
with his voice under control again.
But Louise couldn't answer. She was weeping.
"She's coming along fine." Doc Case said.
"You've done it, John!"
He signalled to the nurse, who pulled the needle from John's arm,
removed the jar from beside the operating table and drew the curtain
aside. Then she and the doctor went out into the hall.

When the doctor returned several minutes later, John was sitting
with both of Louise's hands in his, talking to her.
"She was still a mighty sick girl," Doc
said when he told me the story,
"but I knew she was going to get well. And she
did."
Doc shook his head.
"It was enough that the miracle happened. John's
blood was the wrong type for her. It probably would
have killed her. What did it matter if she got another
pint of plasma while his blood went into a glass jar?
What that girl needed was John. And she got him."
