Chapter 7- That Funny Honey of Mine
Stunned, Roxie lifted her head and a puzzling look was present on her pale face. "What?"
Suddenly the door opened and in stepped Emily, the same little girl whom Roxie met at New York City and another girl, about three was teetering for side to side, her short curly blond hair amassed with blue ribbons and wearing a white dress. They ran to greet Billy, whom he received them very well. Roxie then let out a silent whisper to herself 'Amos' Kids.' She went through each of the girls' hair with her fingers. They look so much like him she thought, and then suddenly, he stepped through the door. Roxie caught the glimpse of Amos. He also never really changed except the growing bareness on the side of his head. He wore a gray suit with suspenders and an off white/gray hat that matched his pants.
"Hello Roxie."
"Hello Amos."
"We just heard from the newspapers in New York so, we drove non-stop to see how you are."
"Thanks Amos. I don't know what to say. "
"Well, I'm glad that you're alive and well, so that's all good. We just wanted to stop by for a bit and then leave." Amos turned his back towards the door and made two steps towards it.
"Wait! It would be nice if you could stay here for a while, you know, just to chat for old time's sake. Speaking of which, it would be an honor if you attend my finale with Velma, whenever that it, it would be a pleasure to see you there-"
"No, that won't be necessary. I have to go now. Kathleen's having a tour with a couple of my friends and her friends, so we have to get back there as soon as possible." Roxie remain and had her eyes open without a blink.
"Oh well, in that case, I'll visit you in New York sometime, whenever you're not moving around."
Amos smiled and moved closer to Roxie's bed, leaning forward towards her face. "That would be great. Then you can finally meet Kathleen."
Great thought Roxie sarcastically. Her eyes went to a stunned state when Amos left a kiss on her cheek. " Goodbye" he said and with that, he left Roxie's room along with his two daughters, Emily and Sarah. Roxie still looked out the door and cried a tear. The warmth of that drop ran down her delicate cheek leaving an invisible trail of grief. Roxie's eyelid fell down like curtains and drifted into a dreamless sleep as Billy Flynn closed the door behind him, leaving Roxie in a state of piece.
