KING'S BAY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
Molly holds Sarah's cold stare for
a moment and then moves to the door, turning the handle with trembling
fingers.
"Look who couldn't stay away," Sarah
is saying as she meets Molly in the doorway.
"I read about the fire," Molly says.
"I just--I wanted to come and visit."
"Of course you did. Nothing exciting
happens without you being in on it, right?" Sarah flashes her sister a
dirty scowl and then turns back to Brent.
"I--I bumped into Claire," Molly
continues, brushing off Sarah's taunt. "She explained how he's doing. I'm
praying that he wakes up soon."
"Well, yeah. Then you can get on
with your little game. That's all you really want, isn't it?"
Molly fights her instinctive reaction
for only a split-second and then lets it fly. "Will you just get over it?
Brent is my friend and he almost died last night! Don't you think I should
be here?"
"Whatever you say," Sarah says with
a flip of the head and a roll of the eyes. "You can hang around all you
want, it doesn't matter. He's coming back to me, Molly."
Molly narrows her eyes, both in confusion
and anger.
"He's coming back to me," Sarah repeats.
"He's going to come out of this and be fine, and we'll have our second
chance. This is just--it's like God's way of showing both of us that we
can't take each other for granted."
Now it is Molly's turn to be flippant.
"This isn't going to erase everything that's happened, Sarah. He's not
going to wake up and magically not remember all the crap you've pulled.
Get a grip."
Sarah looks a little stunned and
Molly takes advantage of the moment. She pushes her way past Sarah and
into the room.
"I'm going to visit with Brent for
a little while, okay?" she says, clearly more of a declaration than a request.
Sarah pauses, not responding, but
then moves back towards the door. "Fine. Have fun. I'll be outside, okay?
Just watch it and try to keep your paws to yourself, if you can manage
that for a few minutes."
She blows out into the hallway, pulling
the door closed loudly behind her.
"You shouldn't even be allowed in
there," she mutters as she leans against the wall. And the moment the words
have passed through her lips, a lightbulb flashes on inside her head.
