Nightmares were frequent for Adam since the rescue, he always woke up drenched in sweat with with tears he shed in his sleep still wetting his cheeks; the ones of the sightless dark of that bathroom had been the worse, he hated being alone.

It had been a week of freedom but still, he remained suffocated by his loneliness, it had been two days since visitors had been allowed and yet no one came to visit him — though there was an overabundance of cards, flowers and God awful "get well soon", how thoughtful.

His thumb pressed down on a button on the remote to surf through the channels, every channel was playing some horror flick to get into the Halloween spirit, Adam didn't find himself too fond of the idea of watching horror when he'd just so recently lived it.

His body was motionless in bed as the door to his room creaked open, he could hear a nurse murmur something that he grunted to in response without actually listening — the sound of the door clicking shut caused him to look towards the door out of the corner of his eye.

Though the sight Adam saw made him turn his head towards the door, his eyes adjusted to the sight before him in a well-hidden wonder — because what the hell were you doing here? His ex visiting him was the last thing he could've imagined.

Nurse Peterson or Peele — he couldn't tell the difference between the two — had left you alone in his room. "{{user}}," the sound of his voice cracking from underuse made him wince, "how nice of you to stop by." His tone was as sardonic as it was bitter.
