The sunlight outside the hospital felt warmer than usual as Ethan and Charlotte stepped out of the building.
The morning bustle of the city added a lively background, but Charlotte was lost in thought, her mind replaying the brief yet unsettling encounter with Eleanor.
Just as they reached the hospital parking lot, Ethan's phone rang. He glanced at the screen and then turned to her.
"Charlotte, go ahead to the car. I need to take this call."
Charlotte snapped out of her thoughts and nodded. "Alright."
Ethan moved a few steps away, his tone dropping as he answered the call, while Charlotte continued toward the car. Her mind wandered back to Eleanor.
'Why was she in the hospital? And why did she look so...off?'
Charlotte couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, but she told herself it wasn't her concern.
