The first few minutes of the car ride to the hospital were silent. Emily was patiently waiting on Anessa to start asking her questions, but too much time had passed and she haven't said anything.
"What's on your mind?" Emily questioned hoping to get a peek at her best friend's thoughts.
Anessa shook her head and kept her gaze on the beautiful lights that decorated the city. "I'm just thinking about Tristan, I hope he's okay."
"He'll be fine, he's a tough guy," Emily assured her. And she wasn't just saying that since she saw firsthand just how strong he is.
Anessa hummed, "You should know I guess, seems like the both of you've known each other for a long time."
'Here it is,' Emily thought with a sigh. "Look, I'm sorry for ruining your date okay? I should've been more curious about the wine, hence I wouldn't need to have been saved by him and your boyfriend wouldn't have been stabbed."
