CHAPTER 24 – Katie

  We stay with Jenny for about another 30 minutes before we reluctantly announce it is time for us to leave. We say our goodbyes, and Casper gives Jenny a hug. Her bright smile fades slightly when we head towards the door, pulling at my heart. I wish we could do more for her.

  As we step outside of the room, a nurse walks past us and into the room. She stops momentarily in the doorway and glances over her shoulder. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on her.”

  A strange heaviness fills the car on the drive back home, but it hasn’t put a damper on Casper’s mood. He can’t stop talking about Jenny and everything they did. He still has the same excitement as he did in the room with her. I have a feeling he is going to want to go to the hospital to see her again.
