At 7 am Alice returned with Lara´s bag with her stuff in it. Lara was still fast asleep when Alice walked into her room. She sat down next to her once again and watched her. She soon woke up and smiled at Alice. Alice smiled back and kissed her on her forehead. „Morning, this time no big entrance, Lara? Lara,“ Alice got suddenly serious „I think we should talk. I mean about what is going on between us. And why you always run away from me. Why?“ Lara looked at her thoughtful for a moment „Is this between us right? What would the others say?“ „Why care about anyone else than us?“ Alice suddenly snapped more rude than she ment to sound it. „Lara, sorry, but this is not about anyone else this is about us. And definitly no one else.“ Lara turned away. „Lara? Did I say something wrong? What´s wrong with you?“ Lara was about to answer when Cora Sung came in to check on Lara. „Found her already, Alice?“ she asked smiling. Alice simply nodded. „I am gonna get myself a coffee. Ms. Perkins here is a bit grumpy this morning.“ she said smiling while leaving the room. She walked to the next coffee machine and got a really strong coffee to clear her mind. Which was in Alice´s case a latte machiato with lots of milk. Alice sat down on a bench outside in the park. She thought about Lara, like most of the day she not only thought about Lara no she was worried about her. The last time she was as wprried as she was now with Lara was when Dana lay in the exact same hospital now Lara was. Alice walked back to Lara´s room and found her sitting on the edge of her hospital bed fully dressed. „Cora Sung said I could already leave no more tests are necessary. I am okay. It was just a small shock.“ she said smiling. Lara stood up and grabbed her bag and proceeded to walk out of the room when Alice stopped her. „No, please stay. Let them check you through and through until there is nothing to check anymore. Lara, please.“ Alice said the last sentence more like a plea than a question.
