LILA I sank deeper into the chair after he left with the nurse. My mind was spinning. Pain is complicated for me. What did that even mean? The quiet hospital room suddenly felt too small. I stood up and began pacing slowly. My fingers drifted across the edge of a medical poster on the wall, though I barely registered what it showed. Then a thought returned to me. Selene. Callum had mentioned that Selene was his cousin. Curiosity crept in. I pulled out my phone. Ignoring the flood of new friend requests I had somehow gained simply because Callum followed me, I opened his profile and checked his following list. Just one. Me. That alone was strange. His follower count, however, was another story entirely. The number was ridiculous. So I moved my investigation somewhere else.
