AUTHOR'S NOTE: Here is another guess as to what the writing may mean. After this, your next chance won't be for another few chapters.
Erin - - I just have to thank you for your wonderful reviews. People like you make my writing worth while. I like how you respect the fact that I indeed do have a life, and the fact that I have set format and chapter lengths. Once we get Greg into the picture, the chapters will be getting longer. That is my plan, at least. Thank you again for mentioning Sara's drinking problem to me.
Kathryn Mason-Sykes - - your reaction to chapter fourteen is what I was looking for. It was meant to answer some questions, as well as add some new problems to the story.
Em - - who said he was okay?
- : - : - : - : - : -
Greg is still sleeping. I have been in his room for three hours and have gotten two cups of coffee and made one phone call.
the doctors convinced me to leave to get coffee the first time. I rushed back.
when they came in again, I ask them what is taking so long with Greg.
their reply was to get another cup of coffee and call some friends.
so I call Nick and Warrick. both men seem relieved and promised to tell Catherine and Grissom for me.
I haven't spoken to Catherine since she came to talk to me at my house.
the last time I spoke to Grissom, he called to tell me that I have a week off, paid leave. just until things at work get settled. I'm still mad at him. actually, that's an understatement - - I am pissed at him.
when the hospital called, it was only the beginning of my first day 'off.'
I scoot my chair closer to Greg's bed and grip his hand. slowly, I run a shaky hand through his grown-out hair.
I have waited for so long for Greg to wake up...
...why, then, do I feel so scared?
