Evan watched Amelia attend to her friend, who lay on the bed still intoxicated, while he stood, leaning on the wall by the door, lingering till he could make his exit.
Nurse Jane could only give her friend an IV fluid to rehydrate her. Other than that, they could do nothing but wait till the alcohol in her system subsided before she would wake up.
"Thanks, Jane." He heard her tell their friendly nurse before she walked out and nodded at him, leaving them in silence.
Amelia pulled the white blanket, tucking her friend snuggly before moving away from her. Then, he watched her walk toward him.
"I guess my work here is over." Evan finally uttered when she stopped in front of him. "Goodnight, Amelia." He stood straight, nodding at her, ready to leave. Then, he felt her fingers grip him by his arms, stopping him from taking another step out of the door.
