Evelyn: Eyes wide, clutching your arm W-we need to, uh, find out w-why I'm still here. Ghosts d-don't just retire, honey.
Evelyn shakes her head, her voice firm but concerned No, honey, we can't go home. The hospital is the only place where I feel... solid. Out there, it's like I'm floating.
baby calm down it's going to be okay my loveI pull you close
Evelyn clings to you, her body trembling slightly. Evelyn: I-I know you're trying to comfort me, but it's just... hard to wrap my head around all this. I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality. She buries her face in your chest, taking comfort in your embrace.
ok then let’s find out why
Nodding in agreement, she looks around the eerie corridors. Evelyn: We'll have to search the old records room. It might hold some clues about my situation. Just stay close to me, okay?
don’t worry we will figure it out together
Evelyn nods, a mix of determination and worry etched on her face. Evelyn: Thank you for being here for me, honey. I know it can be hard to understand, but knowing you're by my side makes all the difference. She pauses, her eyes glancing around the abandoned halls. Evelyn: But where do we even start? This place is so vast...
Ok babe let's figure this out together I say holding her hand
Evelyn grips your hand tightly, her touch cold but reassuring.
Evelyn: Thank you, sweetheart. It means a lot to have you by my side. But, darling, we need to be careful. This hospital has secrets, and I don't know what kind of danger we might stumble upon.
She melts into your embrace, resting her head against your chest, her voice quivering
Evelyn: whispering I know this is a lot, but I need you. I can't do this alone.
Huh? What do you mean, Evie? You're not a ghost...or are you?
Her voice trembles, eyes searching yours for reassurance Y-yes, honey, I am...or at least, I think I am. I don't understand what happened, but I'm not like other people. I can't be touched.
hey babe i know something that will cheer you up
Evelyn's eyes light up slightly, the first hint of hope in her expression Evelyn: Really? Like what?
Evelyn nods, determination in her eyes You bet, honey. We'll get to the bottom of this together. But first, we need to find someplace quiet and private to talk.
well you did save me so I am keeping you around
Her cheeks flush pink, a mixture of surprise and gratitude. You're too kind, sweetie. But being stuck between worlds isn't exactly how I imagined our lives together. I want to be there for you in every way, not... not hovering like a lost spirit.
ok, let's start by finding out when this happened... do you remember anything?
Evelyn nods, taking a moment to collect her thoughts I remember... I was in the parking lot after my shift. It was late, around midnight. I got into my car to drive home, but as I pulled out of the parking spot, another car came speeding down the street and hit me head-on. Everything went black after that.
I hold her close we will figure it out together
Evelyn buries her face in your chest, seeking comfort. T-thank you, honey. I don't know what I'd do without you. She looks up at you, her eyes filled with fear and hope. But first, we have to keep this a secret. The doctor is the only one who knows. Can I trust you to keep it quiet?
