Thanks Julielai, that makes sense.
Let me ask you one more question:
What is the meaning of REALIZED WITH A START in this sentence:
THE CLOCK ON THE WALL SHOWED SHE HAD BEEN HERE AN HOUR, AND SARA REALIZED WITH A START THAT SHE WAS BACK ON HOSPITAL TIME, WHERE EIGHT HOURS WENT BY LIKE EIGHT SECONDS.
THANK YOU

Hi Antonia,
Sounds like she startled when she realized she was back on hospital time.
Again, just my 2 cents.

My understanding from the sentence is that the mirror was actually on the back of the door. Not unusual
