Jane woke up in a quiet, white room, in a hospital gown and a nurse with a clipboard sitting in a chair next to her bed. Jane felt groggy, and sat up suddenly, rubbing her eyes and taking in her surroundings. “Woah, woah, don’t get up too fast, you’ll feel dizzy,” said the nurse, standing up and putting her hands on Jane’s back.

Jane was overjoyed, she could really meet the woman she rescued for the first time.
Jane and her mother followed the nurse into a room across the hall that was identical to Jane’s. The women was awake, and she was reading a magazine that she put down when she noticed the visitors she had.
“I'll leave you alone,” the nurse said backing out of the room.
“Hey mom could you give us a second?” Jane whispered to her mother.
Her mother nodded and shut the door behind her when she left. Jane walked slowly over to the chair next to the woman's bed. Before Jane could say anything first, the woman
