Alexander's reply came swiftly:
Alexander: I hope your friend is okay. Don't worry about our plans. Take your time.
Relief washed over Victoria; Alexander's understanding response eased her worries. With Sarah's condition improving, Victoria spent the rest of the afternoon at the hospital, keeping her company.
As the evening approached, Victoria decided to check in on Alexander. She texted him, feeling a sense of gratitude for his understanding:
Victoria: Thank you for being so understanding. How about we catch up tomorrow? I could use some distraction from the chaos.
Alexander's response was quick:
Alexander: Of course, Victoria. Let's meet up tomorrow. Take care.
