SamuelI went and checked on Penelope when I returned. I saw the nurse leave her room and I slowly opened the door to her room. She was awake watching tv.“Hi,” I said as I entered the room. She turned towards me, trying to focus with her one eye as the other was still swollen shut.“Hi,”“How are you feeling?” I stopped in the middle of the floor.“Like shit,” she said looking around. “Where am I?”“You’re at the mansion, well my house. My mother had you brought here after your incident,”She looked around at all the medical equipment and then at herself. She slowly touched her face, cringing as went over her injuries.“I must look awful,” she said, looking away and pulling up her bed sheets.“No, never. You are still as pretty as the day I met you,” I said. Penelope looked at me and I smiled.“No I’m not,” she said, tearing up.“No, you are. This is just temporary,” I said walking over to the side of the bed. She smiled and looked away.“You’re sweet. Thank you,” her face softened.
