Marianne has been in with the doctors a long time. That’s what Marianne’s husband, Joseph, was thinking as he sat in the hospital waiting room. He noticed the flowers. Pretty. He hated hospitals. He’d just focus on the flowers while he waited on Marianne.
“Excuse me. Mr. Hayworth?”
Joseph jumped. He’d nodded off, staring at those flowers.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Hayworth. Your wife has a collapsed lung. We accidentally caused it to collapse at the end of the procedure. She has to stay until it resolves. She’s in Room 412.”
Joseph was still trying to wake up. He jumped up, thanked the doctor, and shook his hand. The doctor left and walked quickly down the hall.
“Now what?” Joseph thought.
He walked over to the flowers, snatched them out of the pots, and started walking quickly to Room 412 to see Marianne.
