Twentyand s much better than she did when I left her I place a plate of dry toast topped with sliced bananas on the breakfast bar and pull the stool out for her

She takes a seat and grumbles, “Thanks”

I round the counter and take a sip of coffee When I see Rainey eyeballing it longingly I say, “Sorry, babe, no can do” I nod to the glass of water sitting next to her “Clear liquids only until we know you can keep them down”

“Jerk,” she says, glaring

“See? Was that so hard to admit? And to think, all I ask in return is that you wear a sexy nurse’s costume the next time I see you”
