Silver chewed her food slowly, savoring each bite as she glanced at Noah and Natalie. They were so focused on her, their expressions full of relief and warmth. She smiled sweetly at them, playing the part of the innocent girl they thought she was.
"When can I leave the hospital?" she asked, her voice carrying a slight whine.
Natalie chuckled. "Silver, it's only been a few hours since you woke up. You should rest a little longer."
Silver pouted, making herself look as adorable as possible. "But I'm tired of being here. I want to go home."
Noah smirked. "You're so impatient. Fine. After you rest for a few more hours, you can leave in the evening."
Silver's face lit up. "Really?"
Noah nodded, and she grinned before eagerly returning to her meal. Every spoonful she took felt like fuel for the fire inside her. A fire that none of them knew existed.
