STIFF AND BRUISED, Sydney got up from the hospital bed. A pain wave passed through her head and she steered. She held her head and headed to the hospital door.
She remembered everything that happened the previous night leading up to her encounter with Gabriel. He'd still brought her to the hospital after all. She silently thanked God he had, what if Emily and Ethan had seen her in that horrendous state?
She heard whispers coming from behind the door. She raised her head, and through the hole in the door, she caught sight of Gavin talking with Doctor Natasha, a bitter expression on his face.
Sydney stood, catalyzed. Why is he here? Maybe he came to finish what he started.
As if noticing her gaze on him, Gavin met her gaze. His eyes softened a bit but she still noticed the fire in it.
Gavin drove her home, they hadn't said anything to each other since she got discharged. The somber music on the drive did nothing to mitigate the tension between them.
