Chapter 81

• I went to the hospital reception and paid the entire bill in advance, leaving a credit for any eventual needs. Then I walked slowly down the road as the first rays of sun appeared on the horizon.
• I walked aimlessly for a while, completely lost. I couldn't remember where the little house Veronica had taken me to was. I slid my hand into my pants pocket, looking for the key. I intended to track down the house by its smell.
• "You forgot your keys!" Lisa said to me in my mind. I smiled serenely when I heard her voice in my head again. What she said was right, I remembered that I had left the key on the bed and only taken my wallet. I had even left the front door open.
