I looked through the small window on the hospital room door and saw the two of them inside. Mona was peeling an apple for him. I reached out and called her. She didn't answer, so I kept calling.
She finally answered.
"Alan, didn't I tell you not to call me unless it's important? I'm very busy." Mona's tone was cold and impatient, but I could see her smiling warmly at Jeff and feeding him the apple.
"But I miss you. What are you doing right now?"
"What else could I be doing? I'm in the lab. I can't talk now. I'm busy..." She hung up quickly. I watched as she ended the call and continued chatting happily with Jeff. I couldn't control myself and rushed in!
