Emily's POV
The doctor stood up and said, "I'll leave you two to get some rest. I'll check back in on you in a little while." She smiled at us and left the room, closing the door behind her. Ethan sat down next to the bed and took my hand in mine.
"Are you okay?"
His voice was soft and gentle.
"I'm so sorry."
His voice was full of emotion. "I didn't mean to lash out like that. I was just so upset and heartbroken. I know it's no excuse, but I hope you can understand." He kept my head down.
"It's not a problem."
My voice was kind and understanding. "I think I understand." I looked into his eyes, and I felt something stirring inside me. A strange mix of emotions washed over me, and I couldn't quite identify what it was.
"I don't think I will be discharged tonight, the doctor said she is going to keep me here overnight and start me on some IV fluids. Just to make sure I'm hydrated and my body has the fluids it needs to heal."
