KING'S BAY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
"Danielle!"
A surge of excitement rushes through
Brent's body as his sister rises from the chair in the corner and comes
quickly over to his bedside.
She takes his hand, starting to grip
it firmly before she becomes conscious of the bandages covering it. "Thank
God you're okay. I am so relieved."
"Yeah, I'm pretty happy about it
myself," Brent says. He grins up at her, even though the gesture pulls
at the burned skin on his face and rings a few alarms of pain.
"So how do you feel?" Danielle asks.
"Not half bad. From what I hear,
I managed to do a pretty big number on myself, so not too bad at all."
"Good. I was so worried." She pauses
to breathe a sigh of relief. "Dad and Josh -- they wanted to come up and
see you, too, but there was a lot going on with the paper and they couldn't
really get away."
"Did they call you to tell you I
was awake?"
"Someone did," Danielle smiles. "Someone
who cares about you very much."
The comment registers with a reverberating
warmth inside of Brent. "So the tour's all over, right?" he asks. "You're
back in San Diego?"
"For now, yeah. It's a little bit
weird not having to work or anything."
"Well, what about the follow-up to
your big smash of a debut album, Ms. Superstar?"
"It's coming along," she says. "I'm
writing and we've done a little messing around with the band and some vocals.
I'm still coming down off of this tour, though. It's absolutely exhausting,
even moreso now that it's all over!"
"I bet. So are you ..." The developing
question fades into oblivion on Brent's lips. Danielle turns around to
see what has captivated Brent.
She sees Molly standing in the doorway.
