50 - Mia Sanders (2)

Maybe they could become friends then.

------------------

"If you don't mind, can you tell me what you know about Shadowcreek Asylum?" the angel asked.

Mia was not sure why she immediately agreed.

Julian was simply different from other people who tried to approach her, the hospital staff included. Or maybe it was she who was desperate to have someone -- anyone, to listen to her woes and treat her like a human being, that she was willing to trade her life story for a simple meal.

Before she knew it, she started talking about everything -- not only about the hospital but also about her own predicament, and how her doctor and nurses handled her depression.

Mia's parents divorced when she was three years old because both parents cheated on each other. Neither mother nor father wanted her because they both wanted to move on with their new partners.
