Casusbelli: War meets Love
When Petra wakes up from her coma, she finds out her fiance has left her for the person who had put her in that coma in the first place. She finds herself in St. Gregory Hospital, where more than meets the eye. It seems the staff at St. Gregory are ready to do anything to climb to the top-including doing the exact opposite of saving lives. Petra is hired after helping save the president's life, and she soon realizes that the hospital and its mysteries are about to turn everything she's ever thought of her identity upside down.

"I'm going to go. I was supposed to check on the baby at one." She looks at Norman.
"You stay as late as you like," she adds, her voice tight. Norman looks sharply at her, his eyes glittering. Suddenly Alex thinks he doesn't seem that drunk, but she feels dizzy.

Alex begins to glance around for her purse, gathers up the baby monitor, realizes then that it's plugged into the wall, and bends over to unplug it, aware of everyone at the table silently staring at her fat ass.
Well, let them. She feels like they're ganging up on her, seeing her as a spoilsport. Tears start to burn, and she fights them back. She does not want to burst into tears in front of everyone.
