Nigel lunged forward and shoved Yvonne out of the way just as the beam crashed down. A sharp scream of pain echoed through the room. It had landed directly on his legs.

"Nigel!" Yvonne cried out, terrified. She tried to crawl over to him, but before she could reach him, a piece of wood knocked her unconscious.

When Yvonne came to, she was back in her hospital bed. A bandage was wrapped around her head and the dull ache reminded her of the injury. The first thing that came to mind was Nigel. She immediately tried to get out of bed to find him.

Just as she swung her legs off the bed, Nina walked in. Seeing her trying to get up, she rushed over, gently pushing Yvonne back onto the bed. "What are you doing? You need to rest."

"I need to find Nigel. How is he? Please tell me he's still alive," Yvonne begged, clutching Nina's hands. Tears were streaming down her face, soaking the sheets beneath her.

Nina wiped her tears and soothed her, "He's alive. But seriously, what were you both thinking, going to a place like that? It's an unsafe building. Didn't you see the signs the government put up?"

Yvonne stayed silent. How could she explain? Where would she even start-from Joe, Nigel, or her own failing health?

Nina mistook her silence for embarrassment, assuming it had been some romantic adventure. She gave a teasing smile, "Well, it looks like you two have found true love through adversity. But seriously, if you want to go on dates, don't go to places like that. If you're looking for excitement, there are safer options. If you need suggestions, I can show you some."
