What if the doctors thought you were in a persistent vegetative state but actually you could hear every word, feel every breath on your skin and sense every change of light through your closed eyelids? What if your mind was still active, still wandering and thinking?
When Kath sees a flicker in Ian’s eyes, she’s sure he’s still ‘in there’ and wonders if he wants to live. But she forgets to ask herself the same question.
