While she was in the hospital, Carrie had a lot of time to dwell on the images.
Almost the whole of the Omega team visited her: Anya roared up on her motorcycle, dressed from head to toe in black leather, Sam and Mike came together, twitching all the while and Brian was always with her. Finally, after a week in the hospital, taking blood samples and running tests, she went home.
That night as she curled up in bed she had a strange dream. She was on a boat and could see Angel City. There was a terrifying (Rival) creature with the blonde man from her visions in its mouth. She killed the creature, then she was laughing, and then she was in someone's arms holding them tightly. Then she woke up.
The next day Carrie spent shuffling around the apartment in her Pjs. Just as she was dosing off in front of a cheesy soap opera when the phone rang. It was Amber. "I'm so sorry we didn't visit you in the hospital, Carrie!" she said. "What do you mean 'we'?" Carrie asked. "Oh, me and Kevin. We're engaged!" Amber squealed in delight. Carries stomach clenched. 'Why am I so...jealous?' she thought.
"You there, Carrie?" Amber said. "Can I call you back?" Carrie responded. Without hearing her answer she hung up the phone. Then Carrie collapsed onto the sofa and sobbed.
