It’s Like the Full Moon- chapter 7.1 (wip)
“Oh please stay,” she said wiping tears from her face. “I know Teddy and Rebecca would love to have you here. They’re both so fund of you.” Virgil looked up momentarily, he wondered what Lisa meant by that last comment. He’d never seen or heard of this guy before. Why was he there; this should be a time for family, he thought. Little by little over the next couple of hours more family and close friends showed up to give their support. The crowd had to be moved to a waiting room down the hall. Somehow, Lisa became the designated message taker; her phone was flooded with calls from people wanting to know updates. Eventually, even Mr. Thornton showed up. He had his nurse get him a taxi. He came in and sat next to Lisa as she took her calls. He held her purse and her coffee and even her hand when she needed it.

I enjoyed reading this snippet. It made me curious to find out why they were gathered in the first place.
