John was coming to have dinner with John T. in a few hours. John T. was getting ready to leave to get some things from Nicole's house and take them to the hospital. He picked up his keys. There was a knock at the door. He answered it. John was standing there.
"Dad." He said surprised. "I thought we were meeting at the restaurant."
"I took an earlier flight."
"I was just about to go to mom's to get her easel." "Want to follow me there and check out mom's studio?"
"Sure."
They just walked into the studio.
"Why is there two easels?" John asked.
"There's actually three but the one on the right is mine."
"I didn't know you painted."
"Yeah, I'm a regular Picasso."
"Where's the third easel?"
"Over there." John T. said pointing. When John saw it he recognized it right away. It was the one John had given her. He smiled. "I don't know why mom won't get rid of it." "It doesn't even sit right anymore."
About an hour later John and John T. walked into Nicole's hospital room. She was surprised to see John.
"Hi Nicole." John said.
"Hi." She said surprised.
"How are you doing?"
"I'm sick of being in this hospital bed.
"We brought you some food mom." John T. said.
"Thank you."
They all spent the time eating, laughing and having a good time.
"Did your dad tell you how we met?" Nicole asked.
"Don't worry, I told him all about how you pursued me." John said jokingly.
She laughed. "That's not true." "Ow!" ""I think I need more medicine." Just then the nurse came in to change her IV.
"We'll let you get some sleep?" John T. said.
"Ok." She looked at John. "Thanks for coming."
"I'm glad you're ok." "Bye."
"Bye."
