She's Not Sorry

Meghan doesn’t want to go to work but knows she has to pretend that everything’s fine and that she doesn’t mind taking care of Caitlin. It’s been two weeks since her admittance, and her condition hasn’t changed. Meghan keeps telling herself she isn’t wicked for hurting Caitlin but that she simply made a mistake. In Caitlin’s room with Tom and Amelia, Meghan discovers that Tom works for Tanner & Levine. She studies Caitlin and Amelia, shocked to notice Caitlin’s eyes blinking open. She hopes the coma lasts, but Caitlin’s eyes flicker again, and her gaze meets Meghan’s.

Amelia squeezes Caitlin’s hand and begs her to wake up again. Caitlin eventually opens her eyes, and her gaze sweeps around the room. Meghan tells herself this isn’t happening and desperately hopes that Caitlin will have memory loss and won’t remember her. Caitlin’s eyes close again, and she doesn’t wake up for the rest of the day. Meghan is shaken throughout the rest of her shift, worrying about what she’ll do if Caitlin does wake up.

The next day, Meghan measures Caitlin’s brain function. She scores higher on the Glasgow Coma Scale than she has since her admittance. In the break room, Meghan realizes that the only way to resolve her situation is to kill Caitlin.
