Thoughts

Dani POV

It's been a few months since I left the hospital and I'm back home, in Boston at my own house. I never sold it so it was always here for me to move back into. I stayed with Chris for a while just until I was back on my feet and of course he had to go back to work so it made sense for me to go home. Lisa and the girls look in on me from time to time to make sure I'm okay and Chris and Scott call me pretty much everyday. Work has been amazing and agreed to transfer me back here in Boston. With everything that happened they just want me to be comfortable. Today I've got to head out to my physical therapy and Scott has offered to take me as he is in town and wants to grab a coffee afterwards.

I'm just sat in my kitchen, mindlessly scrolling as always when I see an article about Chris. I open it up and see photos of him with a brunette woman, they seem pretty close and the article states they have been seen multiple times together.
"Hey Dani"
"Hey"
Scott walks into the kitchen and smiles "ready to go?"
"Hmmmm" I say looking down at the photos.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." I had home my phone to look at "I didn't know Chris was seeing anyone"

"Neither did I" he looks up at me and I see a confused look.
"Is it ok if he is?"
I furrow my brows "of course. Why wouldn't it be?"
"Don't know you just seem bothered by it I guess"
"Nope not bothered. Just can't believe he didn't tell us"
"Maybe it's still new"
"Maybe. Let's go"
I take my phone back out of his hand and lock it, before walking past him and out to the car. Was I bothered by it?

Scott POV

Dani is acting really weird, she seems really upset about the photos and I'm not sure why. As we drive to her appointment, she seems quiet.
"You okay?"
"Yeah"
"Really? It's me Dani you don't have to pretend"
She sighs "just not been sleeping well, lots of nightmares"
"That's understandable. What are they about?"
"Jack. He is standing over me in the hospital but this time I don't wake up. He kills me, then kills Chris and.....it's just......"

I place my hand on hers "it's just a nightmare"
"I know. Gracie appears and tells me to wake up. It's not real and I just need to wake up. It's weird I guess"
"Chris said you dreamt about her in your coma?"
"Yeah I did. I don't know I feel like she's guiding me through this somehow. Pushing me in the right direction"
"She could be. She loved you more than anything in the world Dani. It only makes sense she would still protect you"
"Yeah but......is that stuff real?"
"It is if you believe it"

She nods "I guess. When is Chris coming home anyway?"
"Tomorrow. Said he would stop by your house when he gets back"
"Okay"
"You sure those photos haven't bothered you?"
"Nope. Why would they?"
"Okay. Just checking"
I pull up outside the building and she grabs her crutches and bag.
"I'll pick you up in 2 hours and we can go for coffee"
"Okay. Love ya"
"Love ya too"

I drive away and I can't help thinking she is hiding something from me but I'm just not sure what. But one things for sure I need to talk to Chris and find out who this brunette is.
