Molly was unusually quiet at church on the Sunday after the dinner disappointment with Sean. When Sara saw Molly after the worship service, she knew the dinner with Sean didn't go well. All of Molly's other friends sensed that something was wrong as well.
"Are you okay?" one asked.
Before Molly could reply, Sara answered, "She's a bit under the weather." She put an arm around Molly and pulled her aside.
"The dinner with Sean didn't go well, huh?" asked Sara quietly.
Molly looked at Sara - a true friend who knew her so well and who was always by her side when she needed her - and shook her head, biting her lip to keep the tears in.
"I'm so sorry!" Sara gave Molly a big hug. "Do you want to talk about it?"
"Maybe later."
"Okay. Do you still want to go visit the hospital today?" asked Sara, referring to their monthly visit, as volunteers, to the children cancer ward planned for that afternoon.
Molly took a deep breath and said, "I don't really feel like going, but one of the boys will be operated on today, and I told him I would go see him before he went in. I've got to go."
"Okay," Sara looked at Molly and nodded.
When they got to the hospital, Molly and Sara each put on a white gown and surgical mask as required by the hospital. Sara needed to go to the restroom, so Molly went on ahead. Just as she was passing in front of a room in the Intensive Care Unit, a woman rushed out.
"Excuse me. Come take a look. His heart is racing!" the woman grabbed Molly by the hand and half dragged her in.
"Sorry, I... I don't work here," Molly tried to explain.
