When Ellinor woke up again, it was already pitch-black outside.
The side effects of the IV had made her so drowsy so she had slept like a log.
However, she felt a bit better now; she could sit up alone.
After sitting up, she looked around and saw a man sitting on the couch in the hospital room...
She jumped, then took a closer look; it was Theo!
Theo was lounging on the couch, one hand propping up his forehead, a laptop on his lap, apparently busy with some important work.
"You awake?"
Theo's eyes were glued to his computer, but he seemed to know she was awake.
Ellinor frowned, surprised, "Theo, why are you still here?"
Theo glanced at her, picked up his coffee from the table, and sipped, "Didn't someone ask me not to leave before they went to sleep?"
Ellinor chuckled awkwardly, "I said you could leave when Belinda returns. Where's Belinda?"
As she spoke, she looked around but didn't see Belinda in the room.
"Collin took her home," Theo replied nonchalantly.
Ellinor felt down; with Belinda gone, it was just her and Theo left...
Theo raised an eyebrow, "What's up? Disappointed that I'm keeping you company?"
Ellinor sighed helplessly. Looking at Theo, she saw him eating something while working on his laptop...
"Theo, what are you eating?" she asked.
"Cake," Theo replied.
Ellinor's eyes widened, "Is that my cake?"
"Yes."
