Charlotte and Natalie stepped out into the hospital corridor just as Miranda emerged from behind the door.

Natalie dipped her head politely. “Ma’am.”

Miranda’s gaze flickered to Charlotte. “I’m sure Natalie’s told you about Evander’s condition. I don’t care what you’re thinking–I want you to stay with him, understand?”

Before Charlotte could respond, Miranda picked up her purse and swept away down the hall.

Natalie turned slightly, gave Charlotte a few instructions, and then she, too, departed.

Left alone, Charlotte stood rooted for a long moment before finally pushing open the door.

Elliot emerged from the adjoining room and nearly didn’t recognize her. “Charlotte…?”

The few times he’d seen her, she’d always seemed unfailingly polite, quiet, and obedient–especially around the Howards.
