"You're leaving? Where are you going?" Edie asked, looking over her inquisitively.
"I'm going back to Europe. I haven't told Stuart yet." Anna looked at Marina and back at Edie. "Would you take a walk with me? There's something I need to tell you. Please, give me a chance to explain." There was a tinge of sadness in her voice.
Edie was reluctant, but she agreed. They walked outside to a garden behind the hospital. They sat down on a bench. Anna stared at Edie for what felt like an eternity before she finally spoke.
