The light that used to shine when she saw her brother was gone .
A sharp pang shot through Harlans heart .
Elaine simply said .

He kept telling himself that she was just overreacting , still fired up from when she had been wrongly accused before .
It didnt make sense .
He couldnt stand her , but the thought of her leaving the Yeats family freaked him out so much .
After Elaine slipped out of her scrubs , she was about to check on Grace when she spotted Kingsley leaning against the wall .
