Melinda's POV

Man, I'm in the zone with this book, I wonder what my title should be? I'll figure it out when I finish it and the next thing I should do-, Who is knocking on my door? Anthony is off today so I don't know who this could be.

Melinda: Yes?

It was one of the other nurses who was this old white lady.

Nurse: You have a visitor, Miss Moore. Come with me.

Finally, Sarah is here I can't wait to tell her what's been going on the past couple of days. When someone is watching your every move walking down a hallway it can feel like a long ass walk I can't wait for this year to be over with. I finally made it to visitors room and that's when I saw-, oh my god!

Melinda: (concerned) What are you doing here?

Robert: I wanted to see you.

I can't believe he is actually here to see ME after all that I have done. What is going on? Something suspicious about this.

Melinda: Well I'm here so now what?

Robert: How are you?

Melinda: I'm fine.

Robert: Are you REALLY fine?

Melinda: Yes I am. Is there something wrong?

Robert: Nothing is wrong I just want to see how you doing.

Melinda: Oh really?

Robert: Yes.

Melinda: Ok then.

Robert: So how long you got?

Melinda: One year. Who told you I was here?

Robert: Diana.

Melinda: Oh and how is she doing?

Robert: Let's not focus on her right now, Mel.

Melinda: Why not that is your wife and the mother of your unborn baby.

Robert: I know it's just that I came here to get away from her.

Melinda: Why?

Robert: Because she is in the hospital.

Melinda: For what?

Robert: Well... she tried to harm herself.

Melinda: Oh my god is she okay?

Robert: I don't know they have her under a 72-hour watch.

Melinda: Wait a minute why would she harm herself?

Robert: I found out that she planted her wallet in my truck to sabotage our marriage.

Melinda: Wait What??!!!

Robert: I know this sucks if she hadn't done that you and Brenda wouldn't had freaked out as bad y'all did.

Melinda: Well she shouldn't been in your truck anyway.

Robert: What are you trying to say, Mel?

Melinda: Nothing I was just saying that she was in your truck regardless so you can't just put the blame all on her, I know you are used to playing the blame game but you need to learn other people have a breaking point too not just you and me so enough is enough.
