"Who am I? I'm her father!" Shouts Fred Thursday, while Winifred looks on...
They have just arrived at hospital, where Joan is a patient.
"She is stable and well. I'm not able to release information to you, but I will escort you to the room," says Tall Doctor, greeting them at the entrance to the women's ward, annoyingly calm and placating. Gesturing toward the hallway he says "This way, Sir, Madam."
As Win and Fred open the door to Joan's room they come full stop and look at the sight before them.
Morse's head is resting on Joan's stomach, his arms wrapped around her waist. Joan's hands are woven in his hair, and they are connected so that the beginning of one and the end of the other cannot be determined. There is a peacefulness to their intimacy, as if all is right in the world. Win slides her hand into Fred's, in that way only couples whose souls are connected can do.
Then they look at each other, knowing this is Morse and Joan's time. They leave together, safe in the knowledge that Morse is with her.
