"Can you tellwhich hospital you took Rachel to?" he asked, cutting to the chase.

"Where is she now?" "I'll reveal that if you cwithto a party next week." "Givethe address first," he insisted.
Seeing a chance, she swiftly replied, "Fine, but you must promise to come. I'll text you the address." Once he had the address, Brian headed straight for the hospital.
He found Rachel when he arrived, seated in her hospital room.
The evening had settled in, cloaking everything in shadows, and she hadn't bothered to turn on the light. She had positioned a chair by the window and was sitting there silently, observing outside.
She was so absorbed that she didn't see Brian approach.

Rachel met his eyes with a clear, steady look. It seemed she had much on her mind, but upon seeing him, she understood that words were unnecessary.
Once comfortably in bed, Rachel settled in and said, "Could you geta glass of water? I'm feeling quite thirsty."
Without hesitation, Brian passed her a glass of water. She must have been parched, for she drank swiftly, with water escaping the corners of her mouth and trailing down her neck.
"Take your time, there's no need to rush," Brian said, dabbing in gabbing the water from heNips with a gentle touch. Up close, he noticed how frail she appeared; her face was notably pale, almost colorless.
Proactively breaking the silence, Rachel inquired, "How is Tracy doing?"
Brian visibly froze for a moment.
During the journey there, he had contemplated how to explain then to situation to Rachel without provoking her anger. Yet upon seeing her face, he decided against mentioning Tracy to prevent any potential backlash. Unexpectedly, she broached the subject herself.
