DEMI
"Are you sure you're ok? You suddenly disappeared from the hospital."
Anna drags a deep breath on her end of the line. "I'm fine. I'll be back to see him some other time."
I can't help but feel like she's hiding something from me.
"Did someone say something to you, Nessa perhaps? Anna, if that's the case…"
"No, Demi, it's nothing like that." Another indulgent sigh. "I don't know if I can be around him yet. I rushed after you when you got the call but I am not prepared. I know Asher and I ended things on a very rough note but before we even got together, I always promised him I'd be there for him when he finally booked his surgery. He used to worry that he'd be alone at the hospital and I assured him he'd wake up after the surgery and I'd be by his bedside. I broke that promise for good reason but seeing Nessa at the hospital today and learning that she had brought him there…I don't know how that makes me feel."
