Closed Starter for @lance-a-lark
It was probably wrong that she sometimes just laid there and started at her “roommate”-- a passed out man with curly brown hair who had apparently had just a terrible Fright Fest as she had. Lola really only looked at him because there was nothing else in the room to look at. White walls, windows that looked out over a grey cityscape, the TV turned on to either talkshows or the news. What she would give for even a plant to occupy her day. “Stupid wolf,” she muttered to herself for about the hundredth time since she woke up in the hospital. A nurse who overheard her kept asking what she meant and Lola just gave her the silent treatment. Which was better than lying. Right?
As she looked over at the man (Lancelot-- she thought she heard the doctors call him) she thought she noticed his eyelids twitching more than usual. His head turned, fingertips starting to move. Lola had a button on her bed to call a nurse but instead she just watched him, like a child watching a butterfly break out of its chrysalis. Finally he opened his eyes and Lola was surprised by how blue they were. “Oh God,” she droned. “You’re awake.” She rolled her head to look up at the ceiling. “I was really enjoying the quiet,” she lied. Maybe the silent treatment was worse-- at least in this scenario.
