Behind the White Walls
It was rare for them all to be together, but there they were, filling my hospital room with noise and life, a stark contrast to the quiet isolation before my surgery.
Nevin had a surprise for me: he bought the piano I had always dreamed of owning. He even secured the best doctor to make sure my hand would heal perfectly.
Janet was busy too; she spruced up my room at home, decking it out with all my favorite things. She promised we could take photos and share them online, a big deal since she always shot down my pleas to do that before.
Mom cooked up my all-time favorite meal, and Liliana? She was not hanging out with Walter anymore. She was right there, by my side, silent but present.
