Janet neared the hospital, her turmoil grew.

She was torn about whether to message Brandon, and if so, what to say. "What should I do?"

She stared at her phone screen, the chat page with Brandon open, and rubbed her temples in frustration. Seeing Janet’s troubled expression, Johanna chuckled and advised, "Just say what’s on your mind. What can’t be shared between husband and wife?"
