He was fading. “Wyatt, stay with me. What have you done? Oh, God. Oh, fuck. Baby. Stay with me. What did you do? I love you. Stay with me.” Was Linc crying? It must be terrible if Linc was crying.

“Yes, sir. I know exactly who you are. You’re the man who got away with stealing a hundred million dollars from the company that owns this hospital. You’re the reason half of us didn’t get raises and why we’re so grossly understaffed. I know exactly who you are.”

When I think of everything you do for me…it makes sense. You take care of me. You make me food every day. You make sure I drink enough water.
