So between the dates of June 21, 2007 - August 10, 2007; Anne is regaining consciousness but is feeling very shocked at what she sees or hears when she is back to reality. I can understand why she said the people caring for her seemed alien to her because she's be out cold in another realm that felt surreal and now she's trying to figure out what the heck is going on. Anne is back to modern day life and is put on a stretcher into a ambulance. As Anne is being taken through the hever castle on her stretcher, she remembers everything and everyone that she has grown to love and hate and the thought of not ever seeing them again brings her to tears. Nobody in the modern day life knows what Anne had just experienced so when she tears up the medics think she is just afraid of herself but in actuality she is missing the people that have become her world. Mr. Harris a neurosurgeon has told Anne that she had cerebral aneurysm and that it had ruptured bleeding into her brain. The emergency operation was successful but he did tell Anne that he spotted another aneurysm same size but deeper in the brain and that she can possibly die from it.
Anne has a friend named kate that picks her up at the hospital. They have known each other for over ten years and they are what we call bff's in today's society. Anne sees Daniel shed a tear while he strokes her eyebrows and for a few seconds it reminded her of King Henry doing that to her but also was rare to see Daniel show those types of emotions. After Anne arrived at home she goes straight to the book shelf and I'm thinking she does this because she's trying to go back to the 16th century. Modern day Anne finds a book that caught her eye and it was a biography about Annes life where she thinks that could possibly have answers to her many questions since she resurfaced to reality. As she is reading about the characters in the book she picked up, she is feeling something different that a lot of us don't really feel when we read a biography. She feels a deeper connection while reading the biography because on page 307 it describes how she reads about the people who played a part in Annes life, but as she said, it's not just names recorded on paper anymore. Daniel picks up Anne for her birthday surprise and takes her for a picnic where she and Henry once had there moment at Ankerwycke yew as well. Modern day Anne let's it all out to Daniel on page 324 basically saying Daniel is kidding himself when he said he's made a choice about leaving his current wife. I did get goosebumps on page 325 when Daniel said he sees Anne Boleyn in her and that she has her spirit lol. It's becoming real and I can't imagine how two people can be so alike yet they are centuries apart. Daniel takes modern day Anne back to the castle and as I am reading I notice that now she understands the portraits clearly now because she lived it.
Anne became the "undisputed mistress of perseverance".Daniel daughter got sick from meningitis and when she recovered Daniel shut Anne out cold again.
