A week later Ana was absolutely tired of bedrest. Lying in bed nearly twenty-four hours a day every day was hell and anyone that thought it sounded great had never done it longer than a week. Go ahead and tell people they can lie around and do nothing, sounds great right? Now tell them they aren't allowed to get up. They will be singing a different tune in a matter of days.
The one truly bright thing that had come from all this was the close friendship Ana had been developing with Melissa and to a lesser extent with Melissa's brother Luke. Ana had quickly devolved Lucas into the nickname Luke and Mel became short for Melissa.
Ana and Mel talked about everything. They discussed shopping and Lucas rolled his eyes. They discussed clothes and fashion and Lucas pretended to die. Mel brought up the subject of men and Lucas had tried hard to appear like he wasn't paying attention.
