I woke up and looked around. Faith was asleep over on the couch. Damn, this chair was not the place to sleep. I got up slowly and stretched my arms and back. I yawned slightly as I walked into the kitchen to make Faith some coffee. You don't understand how bad I felt for her. I mean all the time on our routes she would talk abut how all she wanted in life was happiness and a successful marriage and this one jag-off came in
and left her completely alone.
The sun was pretty bright outside. I figured it had to be around 10:00 or so. I found a pot and began to make the coffee.
The phone rang, shit, should I answer it? What if its one of the kids? It rang again, the answering machine...
"Hey Faith, Its Swersky, I just wanted to make sure everything was going all right with you. Well....I just called to see how you we're holding up, Hopefully, we'll see you back at work soon."
The coffee was pretty much finished. I grabbed two cups and poured some coffee in them. I took them back with me to the living room and said on the chair. I set a cup on the table next to Faith and just looked at her as I drank it. She hadn't shown any sign of waking up soon, so I figured I would stay until she did.

I looked at my watch. It was 11:00.
"C'mon, Faith, get up." I said to myself.
She yawned slightly and opened her eyes. She gave me a soft smile.
"Hi..." she whispered
"How you doin'?"
"A little better" she said tasting her coffee.
"sorry, it was hot an hour ago."
"That's all right." she said getting up and walking into the kitchen.
"I just figured I'd hang around 'til you got up."
"Thanks, but you didn't have to."
"Swersky called 'bout 10:00"
"You answered the phone?" she asked alarmed.
"No, No....he left a message."
"Oh" she said fixing her hair a bit walking from the kitchen to the hallway.
"Well, I'm gunna head out, I gotta be at work at 3."
"All right," she walked up to me, "Thanks Bos, for being here for me."
I gave her a hug, "Don't worry about it." I said as I walked out the door.
