She counted down the minutes until quitting time, then hurried out. After leaving the hospital, Ellie walked to the bus stop and unexpectedly bumped into Haley.
They had been friends for so many years, and Ellie wanted to greet her, but after trying for what felt like ages, she realized she couldn't do it.
Haley could date whoever she wanted-whether it was Aaron or Alex. But what Ellie couldn't accept was how effortlessly Haley had moved on after hanging between two guys for so long, only to make the breakup sound so fresh and casual.
