Jade lay back on her hospital bed tears streaming down her face. She was on morphine so there was no pain but she might lose her foot. She would be a freak and not the good kind of freak. Beck rushed in.

"JADE," he exclaimed, "I just heard"

"I may lose my foot," Jade said tears spilling from her eyes.

"No matter," he told her, "It's just a foot."

"But it's a part of me," Jade said, "When you fell in love with me I was whole"

"Jade," he said firmly, "You are whole. It is not your foot that makes you whole. You're Jade. You're the girl that I love and that I always HAVE loved and that I always WILL love. There is NOTHING that can ever change that. I love you and I don't want you to lose your foot but I don't care if you do. You are NOT your foot."
