At 10 pm, Bill returned home after hours of checking in with his in-laws at the hospital. The man walked across the stairs slowly, then saw his wife walking to the ground floor.
"Are you leaving?" he asked.
Steffi paused, and looked at Bill with great doubt, again wondering what he was hiding.
"I miss you, I hope we can do a lot of things tonight," Bill said with a resigned look.
"Sorry," Steffi replied with a flat look. "I have to go to the hospital...I want to accompany Mom and Dad," she continued.
"Then what about me? You don't need to spend the night there... They have Steve and Floryn accompanying them..."
"Floryn isn't officially part of my family yet, but look at how much she cares that she's willing to spend the night there to be with them, then what about you?" asked Steffi curtly. "You instead asked me to stay at home and do as you wish....that's impossible...I'm not a bad daughter!"
