Priceless

  *Daniel’s pov* I tried and tried to find something worthwhile in Rose’s cabin. I didn’t find anything that seemed out of work. I don’t know if I could ever call her Aubrey. She will always be Rose for me. Rose. Delicate, gentle, and strong. I needed to know what secrets she was hiding that was troubling her. I would not think twice before taking all those horrible things away from her at any cost and hiding her safe from the entire world. She deserves calm and peace. She deserves everything. Just as I get searching the last cupboard, the shrill ring of my phone alerts me. My stomach twists when I see it’s Sophie calling. I had this weird feeling nagging at me that I pushed down not so long ago. “Is everything okay?” are the words that drop out of my mouth just as I answer the call. “Dan- Daniel, um,” she takes a breath in before continuing, “um, I think you should come here-” I end the call before she says anything more. This can’t be good. The familiar feeling of p

 The smells of the hospital reached back to Daniel as he went inside the hospital after placing the order for their burgers. The network inside was so bad that he not only couldn’t place the order, but the application for the online delivery was also not loading. Hospitals have those different vibes going around. Someone is celebrating the birth of a newborn while someone is whining from the pain. Daniel never liked hospitals, in fact, he had been scared of stepping foot in the hospitals since ‘that day. Not that , his mind screamed back at him. When he reached back to Rose’s bed, she was not there. He goes over to the bathroom but the door is wide open, obviously stating that she was not there. ‘Wow, I leave for five minutes and she is already wandering in the hospital.’ A little walk around the corridor and he found her standing near the window with her plastered leg hanging in the air while she supported herself with the wall. Her back faced him and her hair, still loose, sway
