Something About You (Just Me & You) - Plot & Excerpts
Sabrina kept vigil from a chair nearby. It was odd how her friend looked so healthy. When her multiple sclerosis came out of remission, her skin turned sallow and her eyes were circled with fatigue. Molly wasn’t sick. Molly shouldn’t even be here. It wasn’t fair. Sabrina still couldn’t believe she was sitting in this austere hospital room, where notes of gauze and Betadine scrub lingered in the air. The past couple of hours had been hazy. She remembered the worried look on Gage’s face when he dropped her off at the emergency entrance. Yet another impression was of the Coles huddled together on a couch in the waiting area. Shuck still wore his house slippers. Cybil looked a wreck, makeup-less, her hair uncombed. Can’t pick up the slack … can’t pick up the slack … when the bottom falls out … Her parting words to Molly replayed themselves in a hideous loop. The bottom had fallen out. But not in the way Sabrina had expected. She felt the same sense of sick disappointment she had when Nola told her that her father had moved out of the house for good.
