KING'S BAY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

"Jason!"

Sarah's breath catches in her throat as she watches her younger brother storm into the room. She can see clearly in him an intensity that is very rare for Jason, and it panics her.

"What's going on?" she asks, her voice thinning with anxiety as Jason marches right over to Brent's bedside.

"We need to talk," he says roughly, his face just inches from hers.

Sarah doesn't say anything. He can tell that she knows where this is going.

"What is going through your head?" he demands. "Posting a guard to keep Molly away from Brent? Don't you think that's going a little far?"

She wavers for a moment but then looks him straight in the eye. "No. I'm doing what's best for my husband and my marriage."

His mouth open, Jason just stares at her. Finally he marvels, "Listen to yourself! You sound like--like a total maniac!"

The accusation definitely hits Sarah hard. When she speaks, she is on the defensive. "Why should I let Molly see Brent?"

"Why shouldn't you?"

"Because--" The truth, suppressed for so long, instinctively bottles itself again, but Sarah releases it. "Because she's obsessed with him! It's not healthy and it's not going to help Brent and me get our marriage back together!"

Jason inserts a pause before even attempting to speak again, trying to discern how the battle between his sisters could have escalated to this point and how he can be caught in the middle of it.

"Did she send you to change my mind?" Sarah asks. "Tell her it's not going to work. I know what she's trying to do and I'm not going to let her get away with it any longer."

She strokes Brent's arm absently -- completely oblivious to the fluttering of his eyelids.
