Capítulo 90: Finally Out of Bed

Three more days slowly passed for Jack as his only visitors were Maura for meals, Daliea trying to have their second date, and Bowzer returning each night after spending the day with Slivia. Anxious to finally get out and move around, Jack jumped out of bed the moment his body allowed him.

A tumult of emotions and thoughts fought inside of Jack.

Maura seemed closed off and never bothered to chat with him. The sassy, fun-loving Maura that he had met weeks ago was long gone. In her place was a straight-faced brunette that appeared at each meal like clockwork and forced too much food down his throat to let him speak in her presence. And the few things Jack was able to mention or ask were entirely ignored as if she hadn't heard him.
