Chapter 7

Sleep was as elusive as a ghost and I tossed and turned the entire night. I had never liked being alone, and found my courage was completely missing in the face of the tragedy which had taken place.

I wasn’t what I would call an adventurous person, nor was I very outgoing when by myself. In fact, I probably would have never had the courage or the inclination to travel all the way to Spain by myself without my roommate, Karen, prodding me along.

I know, for certain, I would have never had the courage to stay in Spain for a month without knowing my aunt Sophie lived here. I was somewhat of an introvert and had always been on the shy side.

Thinking about the next few days without Peter to lean upon was daunting and scary to me. I would have to make all the decisions, figure out how to communicate with the locals, and fend for myself until Peter was ready to return to Barcelona.

I hoped that would be shortly, and as soon as the sun came up, I dressed and headed back to the hospital. The woman behind the front desk was kind enough to draw me a map for how to get to the hospital. Peter’s car was still in the parking lot as we had walked into town the day before.

I was hesitant about driving it, but I needed to get to the hospital and getting a taxi out here was difficult, as I had found out yesterday. Peter had done all the driving since I had arrived in Spain and I tried to recall if there were different traffic rules than back home but nothing came to my mind. Reluctantly, I headed out, the map lying on the seat next to me offering some comfort.

Thirty minutes later, I arrived at the hospital and parked the car. I entered the hospital and headed up to the patient rooms. Hospitals were much stricter in Spain and there was a desk at the head of the hallway, staffed by a very efficient and stern nurse.

I explained who I was and asked for Peter’s room number. She refused to give it to me since I wasn’t family! I explained again that I was the only person with him and that I was his girlfriend. She shook her head and then turned her attention back to the computer screen in front of her, effectively dismissing me.

I turned away from the desk, sniffing back my tears and wondering what I was supposed to do now. The kind doctor from the day before wasn’t in the hospital yet, and I wandered back to the waiting room and sat down in the nearest chair.

I felt so lonely. My attempts to stifle my tears failed, and they fell unchecked down my cheeks. Peter, what’s happening to you? I needed to see him with my own eyes and make sure he was okay.

“Ms. Baker?”

I looked up and saw the concerned eyes of the kind doctor looking down at me.
