It had already been several hours since Galen had been put under observation, and yet Bell was nowhere in sight.
He had been told that she was called away for an emergency in the afternoon, but that was hours ago.
‘I thought she would at least stop in for a chat,’ he sighed to himself sadly.
The door to his room opened, and he sat up with anticipation, only to feel a great sense of disappointment when Peter entered the room.
Galen let out a deep sigh.
“Good to see you too,” laughed Peter.
“Sorry,” Galen replied.
“I know, I’m not who you are hoping to see,” Peter smiled, “I’m sorry to tell you, though, Bell has already gone home for the day. Didn’t she come to see you earlier? I told her which room you were in.”
“Guess she must have been busy,” Galen answered, wondering to himself if something had happened.
“Oh, wow, you got it bad, don’t you?” Peter said, noting Galen’s sad expression.
