The next time I opened my eyes I was back in my room. The first thing I noticed was that my closet had been mostly cleared out. Just a few articles of clothing remained, folded on one shelf.

I felt under the sheets. I was back in a hospital gown. I knew without looking that my butterfly necklace was long gone. At least I wasn’t restrained.

I turned my head toward the other side of the room. Macie was sitting in the armchair, watching me, an open magazine in her lap.

I swallowed painfully a few times, and she waited for me to settle.

“You were vomiting a lot and they had to intubate you at one point. Did you really write the name of the antidote on your hand?” she asked, her tone incredulous.

I didn’t answer and instead asked, “What time is it?”

She rolled her eyes. “That’s all you ever want to know.”

“Yeah, well, if you were me, it’d be on the top of your need-to-know list too.”

She stared at me like I was a puzzle she didn’t want to have to solve. Eventually she looked at her watch.

“Congratulations,” she said mockingly. “You’ve been out of it all day. It’s five p.m.” She stood up. “I’ll let Dr. Levi know you’re awake.”

Oh yeah, she had the hates, bad. I had a feeling it was more to do with me kicking Mitch in the face than anything else. If I had to guess from the looks they gave each other, Mitch and Macie were sneaking visits to the supply room on a regular basis.
