Jamie closed her eyes briefly, sinking further into despair. She didn't even notice when Ben had left the room. Her thoughts were scattered, her mind drifting in and out of focus.

Though she wanted to leave the hospital, she was constantly watched, making it impossible. By afternoon, a nurse came in to change her dressing.
