Rosalynn awoke with a start.
She sat up, steadying her racing heartbeat. Glancing out the window, she noticed the first light of dawn beginning to creep over the horizon.
She had managed to squeeze in a thirty-minute nap, yet she felt more drained than before.
After freshening up and changing her clothes, Rosalynn left her office.
"Ms. Gabriella!" Mike greeted as he approached.
"Is he awake?" Rosalynn asked.d2
"Yes, for a while now. We knew you were resting in your office and didn't want to disturb you," Mike replied, hesitating slightly at the end.
Rosalynn's expression remained neutral as she asked, "Is he chatting with his hallucination in his room again?"
"Yes."
Rosalynn gave a noncommittal hum in response before pushing open the door to Wayne's hospital room.
Wayne was out of bed, standing by the window, basking in the morning sun. Hearing the door open, he quickly turned around, a smile lighting up his face at the sight of Rosalynn.
Rosalynn walked over, smiling and saying, "I got caught up in some work last night and didn't want to disturb your rest, so I stayed in my office."
"It's okay," Wayne said, taking Rosalynn's hand. "The kid left a while ago. Did you see him?"
Rosalynn shook her head gently. "No, I didn't."
"Must have missed him then," Wayne chuckled. "It's okay, he's decided not to contact his foster mother anymore. I think he'll be safe from now on."
Rosalynn looked up at Wayne, then wrapped her arms around him, her hand gently stroking his thinning spine. "That's good."
