The two men locked eyes in the dim light of the hospital room before Kenneth finally broke the silence. "I was wondering what you wanted for breakfast." "I'll skip it. You go ahead."

With that, Lane hopped out of bed and headed straight to freshen up!

Hiding out here these past few days, Lane had let himself go quite a bit, not even bothering to shave.

Behind him, Kenneth didn't move towards the kitchen but remained standing still.

When Lane emerged from the bathroom, Kenneth was still there.

A flicker of panic that couldn't be hidden crossed Kenneth's eyes.

Since he was completely cut off from the outside world, he couldn't be sure if Dorothy was just putting on an act or if she really had been hospitalized! After all, her condition was real and still unresolved.
