In the hallway, Minna broke down in tears.
"I don't think Mr. Mitchell will ever like me. Maybe I should just give up," she said to Elsa.
Elsa glanced back through the small gap in the hospital room door. Ethan, wounded and all, was still enjoying the meal with Brenna as if they were the only two people in the world.

"I'll csee you again tonight. My uncle had a fall. He's here in the Gom shospital. I'll visit him, then stop by your room," said Brenna. She didn't even realize her smile was affectionate.
