The Night of The Accident
Anastasia rushed into the hospital, her heart racing as she approached the reception desk. "Where can I find Daniel Harrington?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady despite the worry gnawing at her.
"Room 204," the nurse replied, glancing up briefly before returning to her paperwork.
Anastasia hurried down the corridor, her mind racing with thoughts of Daniel. She remembered Jayden's words: He's been in an accident. The weight of those words hung heavily on her as she reached his room.
Pushing the door open, she found Daniel sitting on the bed, his leg propped up and wrapped in a cast. The sight of him made her breath catch. He looked pale, but at least he was awake.
"Daniel," she started, stepping inside of the room. "I'm so glad you're okay." She said as she huffed thankfully.
He didn't respond, just stared out the window, his jaw clenched tight. The silence felt like a wall between them, heavy and cold.
