"I hate waiting." Grace groaned for the thousandth time in the past 10 minutes. "I hate that you have to wait with me."
"Why?"
She tsked. "You were probably going to go into the office today. I'm making you wait here with Me. Hospitals generally take time. How long do we know that we are going to stay here for? It could be hours at a stretch. Why don't you goâ€""
"You know better than anyone else, or I'm not going to leave you alone, grace."
