ARIEL’S POV
Luke and I stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity, and I noticed a woman sitting close to him, deep in prayer. It wouldn’t be a bad idea if he joined her. He needed to pray too, so God could give him a sense of how to handle situations in his life.
By the way, I wondered why he was at the hospital. The expression on his face wasn’t reassuring, and I must admit, this was the first time I had seen him like this. Or was it? I couldn’t recall.
I continued to gaze at Luke, but he shifted his gaze away from me, and I followed suit without hesitation.
“Ma’am, please have a seat. We’re already taking care of that little girl. She will be alright; there is no need to worry,” the nurse assured me. She was the one who directed me to this bench.

“I’m afraid the other chairs are occupied. Please, ma’am, just sit here,” the nurse gestured towards the bench.
“Thank you, but I’d rather stand,” I replied, crossing my arms.
“Are you sure about that, ma’am?” the nurse inquired.
“Yes, don’t worry. You can go now.” I smiled at her, and she returned the gesture before walking away.
I turned to Luke once again, and he quickly averted his gaze. He didn’t want me to know he had been staring at me the whole time..

“Are you talking to me?” He asked, pointing at himself.
