After several days of relentless rain and snow, the sun finally decided to show up early this morning.
Rebecca, having finished her breakfast, lounged by the window, soaking in the view outside.
With the festive season just around the corner, the usually tranquil Southern District Sanatorium seemed even more deserted these past few days. However, today, the yard buzzed with unusual liveliness, faint laughter reaching her ears.
"Ms. White," the nurse approached, handing her a glass of water, "Drink some water."
"Thank you." Rebecca took the glass and asked, "What's going on in the yard? Sounds lively."
"People are flying kites. The weather's nice today."
Glancing at the bright sunshine outside, the nurse suggested, "Ms. White, how about we go out for some fresh air?"
Ever since her accident in the water, she had confined herself indoors, and it was indeed time to breathe some fresh air.
"Is that okay?"
The thought excited Rebecca, but the fear of another accident lingered, "I wouldn't want to cause you any trouble."
"It's fine."
The nurse seemed more confident than she was, "We'll just stay in the yard, won't go far. This time, I'll have you arm-in-arm, won't let go, haha!"
Rebecca chuckled, "Alright."
"Let's go!"
Stepping outside, the laughter sounded even more lively.
Rebecca smiled, "Sounds like a lot of people?"
"Yes," the nurse replied, "Our yard is big, so folks from other yards have come over too, along with the caregivers and staff."
"Sounds fun."
Grinning, the nurse asked, "Ms. White, would you like to fly a kite?"
"Could we?" Rebecca seemed intrigued, "We don't have a kite, though."
"There's someone handing them out over there." The nurse looped her arm, "Let's go get one."
"Sure."
They hurried over and got a kite.
