Bobby slipped into her hospital room. "You awake, Eames?"

She turned toward his soft voice. "Hey..."

"If it's too late, I can come back..."

She sat up slowly. "Please stay." She gestured toward the empty chair.

He sat down; studying her. She always pretended to be strong, but she had been crying. "I brought Skittles..." He produced a package of each flavor from his suit pocket.

She smiled. "Bobby, thank you." He always tried to make everything better and usually succeeded.
