The first time, Serena had been surprised to hear that Beth had visited. She'd stayed by her side until she was at the hospital and then ordered away when they'd prepared her for surgery, but Serena's not really used to being cared about.
Not by anyone who isn't Pemberton.
She's slept a lot of the time away – it's easier than being awake and alone – and told more than once that Beth had come by again. With guilt she'd wished that someone had woken her, feeling the rare chance at a genuine friendship slipping from her.
So when she's trying to figure out how to get to where she needs to be outside of the hospital, she can't help the smile on her face at the sight of a familiar other. "For the rest of my life, it seemed."
