Lost Her Mind

The nurse turned to the hospital director and said, “Sir, the patient’s been brought

in.”

The director nodded, got up from his seat, and spoke politely to Cecilia and Nathaniel. “Mr. and Mrs. Rainsworth, we’ll leave you to speak with her. If anything happens, don’t hesitate to call me.”

“All right.”

Stella didn’t seem to notice their presence at all. She sat with her head lowered, aimlessly playing with her hair. She murmured, “Nathaniel, are you really going to marry me? Would Ceci be upset if she found out?”
