"Not since he's a wolf. His body will adapt to whatever we use. I'm sorry I might not be able to match your old eye color." Mike laughed.

"Eye color is the last thing I'm worried about. I'd be so happy to be able to see again. To look at my mate, to see the world again." I leaned back against Bayne, accepting his support as I tried to digest all the information.

"I can stay in town for a couple of weeks. My wife is with me and wants to see the area. While we are sight-seeing, you can call me at any time if you get a donor. We can do the surgery right away. We'll know as soon as you shift to wolf if this will work or not." Mike patted my knee. "I have high hopes we'll have you seeing again in no time."

"Thank you." I offered my hand in the direction he sounded from.

He took my hand. "You're welcome. I'm glad Cohen called me. I'd hate to see you have to go through life never knowing what your mate looks like."

I grinned. "Me too. If even just for a minute…" I took a deep breath. "Cohen, you'll see what we have to do? I hate anyone has to die for me to see, but hopefully, it's someone who's lived a long healthy life."

"That's what I'm hoping as well. I'll start looking as soon as we finish here," Cohen said.

"We're driving out to my house tonight, but you have my number if you need to get a hold of us." Bayne hugged me from behind.

"I'll call the moment I hear any news," Cohen promised.

"While you wait, keep your eyes covered as much as you can. You look as if you've adapted well." Mike sounded like he'd pushed his chair back and stood.

"Thanks, I really appreciate this." I kept hold of Bayne's hand as he came around the table to stand in front of me.

"Let's get these patches back on." He slid them gently over my eyes.

I slid off the table, holding on to Bayne so I didn't crash into anything or anyone. "Thank you again. I hope you get to enjoy your vacation with your wife while you’re here, but I also hope I get to see you very soon."

"In the most literal terms." Mike laughed. "You two have a good evening."

As we walked out of the office, I stayed silent, scared to get my hopes up, but still, it was hard not to hope that one day soon, I'd be able to look Bayne in the eyes when I told him I loved him.
