Catherine hugged Sophia tight before getting into the waiting car. Her head ached on the drive home. She didn't know what to do—it was one thing for Linda to hurt herself, but her decisions were hurting Sophia and Maria and Samuel too. She rubbed her temples and closed her eyes, wishing Linda has just stayed in the coma.
She arrived home and went upstairs to do work on her computer. She logged into the company email and found over 100 unread emails. With a sigh, she began to open them, reading them one by one and dashing off quick replies.
"What are you doing?" Sean asked.
She looked up from her computer, surprised to see that the room had gone dark. She squinted her eyes, trying to make out Sean's figure in the doorway.
"I'm trying to work," she said. "I've been spending so much time at the hospital. I'm afraid I'm falling behind on my duties at Feather."
"Don't worry so much about it," Sean said. "Andy and Alan will take care of it."
