VIOLET’S POV Legs crossed, I plucked at the hem of the hospital gown I was in, my hands all sweaty as I was extremely nervous. Luciano and Laura had been gone for quite a while and still hadn’t returned, making my anxiety grow worse with every passing second. What were they talking about? What could they be talking about for so long? I had a strong feeling Laura was going to be talking about me and the very compromising situation she caught me and Luciano in. Though she was silent about it and tried to pretend she didn’t witness anything, her eyes and body language said otherwise. The awkwardness in the room was so obvious, anyone could tell even from a distance. We all had similar thoughts on our minds, the three of us pretending that wasn’t the case and trying so hard to act neutral.
