Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

“Are you feeling some sort of envy, Ms. Finch?” She finally voiced her opinion, assuming that my strange demeanor was due to jealousy.

Lowering my voice, I replied with a hint of amusement, “Envious of you? Dr. Karina, what happens in the dark always comes to light. You know exactly what you’ve been up to, don’t you?”

Karina’s expression shifted, “I’m not sure what you’re suggesting.”

“The near-drowning incident during my diving trip and your rescue of the woman with lung disease, you’re well aware of both, aren’t you?” I decided to drop the pretenses and cut to the chase.

Those two incidents were her biggest worries, but she probably wasn’t too concerned about the first one, considering there was no solid evidence.

Predictably, she chose to address the latter, “I did indeed save a woman on the island, didn’t you see it too?”

I didn’t deny it, “Yes, I did. It just seemed too coincidental to me.”

Before Karina could press further, the awards ceremony began. She had to leave her seat and face the crowd.

The ceremony was quite dull, with hospital authorities lauding one person after another. I wasn’t a hospital worker, nor did I have any family members being honored, so I found it all rather tedious.
