KING'S BAY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
"Shoot,"
Brent says without hesitation.
"It's not really a favor for me,
exactly." Andy
rises from his chair and paces a few steps toward the end
of the bed. He holds his hand to his chin, comtemplating whether he can
really make this request.
"Then what is it?" Brent finally
asks.
Andy stops moving and focuses on
Brent. "I ... I was hoping that you would agree not to tell Danielle what
my mother did."
A knowing look spreads over Brent's
face.
"It's just that I don't want her
to feel as though her entire career is only happening because my mother
is so manipulative," Andy explains.
"Of course, you're right. It's better
for her not to know that."
"Thanks, Brent. I would just rather
not see any more people get hurt than already have been."
"Makes sense to me." Brent shifts
to adjust his pillow. "So where are you headed? Are you going to spend
some time traveling, or what?"
"I'm going to go to Seattle," Andy
says. He feels strange saying it -- this is the first time he has vocalized
his plan to anyone else -- and is half-waiting for Brent to reject the
idea as ridiculous.
Brent's reaction is much more enthusiastic,
though. "Ahhhhh. Home of the lovely Maggie, right?"
"Yeah." A sheepish grin toys with
Andy's lips. "I want to see her. Especially now that I've had a chance
to resolve things with Danielle -- I want to give it a shot with Maggie.
I need to."
"Good for you! I've been hoping you
would kick it into gear."
Andy's smile widens but then retracts
again quickly. "Hopefully it won't be a terrible mistake going there."
"Hey, she's interested. I saw the
way she was acting with you the night of the fire. And the way she talked
to your mother about you -- she's definitely into you, man."
"I hope so. I also hope that her
offer of a job is still good. I would love to have some work to do right
now."
"That'll be good for you," Brent
says with a nod of approval. "It'll be kind of like a new beginning. You
deserve some peace."
The sentiment hangs between them
until Andy breaks the sudden spell of silence.
"Come on!" he says, his tone indicating
a change to a lighter subject. "Let's get you out of this hospital!"
