I charged into the hospital room and told the nurse buh bye. She gave me a disgusting look and Mary looked at me with wide electric eyes completely filled with fear. When I was finally alone with her I gave her a weak smile. She returned it to me with a little hesitation. "Hi..." I said to her. She nodded at me like I was a complete stranger, which I guess I am to her now...

I talked to Mary for awhile and she warmed up to me. She started talking to me a little more and we began to be more friend like. This Mary is different though I realized as we talked. Without her past she wasn't quite herself. She seemed to trust me more as we talked.

I filled her in on everything in my life, minus Jack and Sean. She didn't need that right now. Mary has her own problems about remembering things and trying to get better from being stuck in the hospital.
