Grace Winslow had been at the hospital for a full day, and she hadn't rested well all night. The next day, with dark circles under her eyes, she went to the cafeteria to get food. It was only then that she remembered she had a boyfriend who was also injured and hospitalized, so she grabbed an extra meal.
She went to deliver Archer Rhys's meal first, only to discover there was someone else in his room.
Feeling it would be awkward to walk right in, she decided to wait at the door. That was when she heard an old, raspy voice from inside. "You almost got yourself killed for her, came back covered in injuries, and even left the service. Do you really think any of that was worth it?"
"She's been married before, she's not some innocent young maiden. If you're going to find a partner, why can't you find someone with a clean, unblemished background? Must you choose someone like her? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"
