Chapter 17 Danger Around The Corner

• Marisa and Dave's conversation in the waiting area continued, their laughter and shared stories momentarily providing a welcome distraction from the anxiety that loomed over Marisa. They talked about their families, their interests, and even shared a few jokes.
• Dave couldn't help but be impressed by Marisa's resilience and her unwavering dedication to her son, Jeffery. He admired her strength and the love that radiated from her as she spoke about Jeffrey. Above all, he was captivated by her beauty and character. In turn, Marisa found solace in Dave's presence. He was a stranger who had offered his support without hesitation, and that meant the world to her during this difficult time.
• As they talked, Dave mentioned that he had a sister who had gone through a similar surgery as Jeffrey's, which gave Marisa some hope and reassurance. They continued talking, and Dave kept doing his best to make Marisa feel less worried about her son's surgery.
