... Annie.” Gerald promised.

“I know you will, Gerald. Drive safe.” Annie replied, knowing the phone call was ending but still lingered just to hear his gruff but comforting voice.

“I will. Sweet dreams, Annie.” Gerald replied, sensing the same reluctance to end the call as he himself had, but knew that he had to hang up. “Goodnight.” He said, then sighed and settled the handpiece into the cradle on the nurses’ station phone.

Annie set the food on the table as Tom washed his hands in the kitchen sink, then dried them on a kitchen towel. Tom noted that despite the amount of food on the table, his mother had only set to places tonight.
