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.

Jamie glanced up absentmindedly. "It's fine. I don't need it."

"This is under Dr. Lawson's direct orders," the nurse replied gently but firmly. "I can't afford to cut corners. Since you're still admitted, please cooperate."

Jamie lifted her gaze slightly, her tone subdued. "I'd like to get some fresh air."

"Of course, once we're done changing your dressing, I can take you outside. Just make sure not to strain your muscles," the nurse said patiently.
