Re: [Recovery: Marta & Hannah]
The fact that Hannah stood to angle her chair as well made Marta smile a little, gentle but real. It was a fleeting but good feeling. One she probably wouldn’t be able to explain if someone asked her about it later. But for the moment, all she had to do was nudge her seat a little more and then lean toward Hannah once they were both sitting again. It was close enough that they could both feel the warmth of another body next to them, and Marta’s arm sometimes brushed against Hannah’s as she was typing on the screen.
i think that’s what they hope. i guess it happens for people who get hurt.
Her fingers stalled for a moment as she went distant with the memory of Seven needing to recover after the car accident years ago, and some of the medical things she didn’t understand then and still didn’t understand now. Her own thoughts pushed away, the two of them were near enough that Hannah’s distress was almost impossible to miss.
u ok?
The list of names took her by surprise, and she did her best to minimize the twitching flinch it caused.
idk. probably. drsaid he’s emergency contact and gets updates. no.
And after a second where she blinked as it registered:
you know si?
The answer was obvious, but not so obvious was how Hannah knew that she knew Si.
