Snippet #1199241

Alexa, or perhaps the ghost of Alexa stood at her own side, at first staring at her unconscious body, then at her mother's back when the door was knocked on and Jack briefly stepped in. He followed in, and that calmed her heart a bit. She'd been standing by the door, behind it, catching Jack's gaze, then allowing him to see her body laying in the hospital bed. She wanted to say something, but as if unable to disturb the peace in the room, she was silent. It wasn't until Jack closed the door and Alexa was left alone with her mother, her sister, Bea, and Rob. Nothing out of the ordinary, of course.

Slipping through the door once more, Alexa found herself empty in the corridor outside. Quickly she projected out into the lobby, appearing a few steps behind him. "I'm as confused as you are..." she began, disturbing the early morning silence in the lobby, to him only. If she startled him, she didn't mean it. Nor did she mean to follow him, as if she knew he wanted an explanation.
