Gracie, who had assumed she wasn’t ready to talk, just gave some pep talks as she always did to lighten up her mood when she felt down.“All is well” She said reassuring Anita.”Don’t ever let anyone get to you, they don’t know your worth so let them be.” She added helping Anita sit up on the bed.“You’re beautiful, bold and one of the strongest women I know so don’t let any piece of trash let you feel otherwise” Gracie continued, she was glad Anita was coming out of whatever she h

He had been open with her as he told her how she had caught his attention at the booking signing event and couldn’t get her face away from his head.Rio who sat and watched what transpired between the both of them couldn’t help but feel sad as it made him remember Anita who hadn’t left his head.

He felt it was partially his fault.“If I hadn’t shoved her off that way, maybe she’d still be seated in the coffee shop and not laying on the hospital bed here.” He said as he walked restlessly on the hospital corridor.The driver that hit her had disappeared as soon as he dropped them off at the hospital, he had taken to his heels, he had thought she had died seeing she didn’t move her body.Scared of jail time, he took off.Rio who blamed himself for her accident could hope it wasn’t as serious as he thought.Still bound with guilt, he doesn't leave her alone at the hospital asking every doctor that walked past him about her current situation.He had been told she needed immediate surgery as the hit had been severe as it broke a bone in her body.
