Molly was released from the hospital that night, though the doctors were monitoring her closely. There was nothing we could do about her change, so we had opted to let it play out and hope for the best.

I smiled. "Alright, you can sleep with me."
I showed her to my room, and asked which side of the bed she wanted. After some thought she decided on the right side.
Later that afternoon, she returned with a bag full of clothes, brushes, money and some food. She said she could take care of herself.
Neither of us were tired, so I put on some old gangster movie. We went to bed around 8.
