Notebook AU | 1999
“Alice? You have a visitor today.” Alice’s nurse knocked on the door frame and then entered her room, an older man trailing behind her. Alice looked up. She didn’t get a lot of visitors here at St. Mungo’s. Or maybe she did and she just forgot. Alice had a hard time remembering anything for more than a day, at most. Thoughts didn’t stick around in her head for very long.
Nevertheless, the man looked nice, and the nurse was looking at her expectantly. “Okay,” Alice said softly. “Good girl. He said he’s come to tell you a story, entertain you a little. I’ll be popping in from time to time if you need anything.” The mediwitch beamed at her and then left, leaving Alice and the man alone.
She wasn’t much for words, but she looked up at him expectantly, wondering what kind of a story he was going to tell her.
