Alex's POV

I quietly pushed the door to my room open and peered through it, only to find Charlotte and Ryder seated on the bed, staring at each other.

I stepped into the room and closed the door behind me before slowly approaching the bed and sitting beside Ryder.

Charlotte had woken up a week late after she went into a coma for the second time. After spending a week in the hospital, she was brought back home.

She hasn't said a word to anyone. All she did was stare, just as she's doing now.
