DANE

I don’t make it very far. I don’t even make it to my car.

Instead, I decide to walk around the hospital. I don’t want to talk to anyone or see anyone, but I don’t want to leave. I pace back and forth, and then finally, probably an hour later, I head back inside the hospital. I already know what room she’s in, so I head in that direction.

When I make it, I find the door closed.

I knock once and hear the loud thud of footsteps. The door opens, and Robert is there. He looks at me, raising a brow. “I wanted to see if I could see Josephine.”

“Let me see if she’s up for visitors.”

The door closes a second later, and his footsteps retreat. I can’t hear anything, so he must be near her bed, but another second passes. When he opens the door this time, his face looks sunken in. I already know the answer before he even speaks. I nod my understanding.

“Dane.”

I shake my head again.

“It’s okay. I know it’s my fault.” I turn and leave, giving him no room to object.
