Upon closer look, the fitted white sheet was really made out of layers of bandage that covered nearly the entire surface area of Toby’s wounded back. It wasn’t hard to see how badly hurt he was.

Sonia shook her head vehemently in refusal. “No, let’s not. I’ve already seen him, haven’t I? It’s time for me to go!”

Tyler flushed. “I’m not asking for more. I just want you to stay with Toby for a bit.”

“And why should I? What am I to him?” she retorted witheringly, meeting Tyler’s flustered gaze.

As such, he closed his mouth again, feeling stupid as the words died on his tongue.
