I took the subway back to the hospital and walked in. Everyone was still in his room, freshening flowers and whatnot. Roger pulled me over and asked:
"Where is she?"
"Back at our place, she wanted to drive all the way back to campus."
"So she is at our house? Alone? What if-"
"She was asleep when I left and I think she will stay that way."
"Still."
"Still nothing, I don't want them to have adjoining rooms at the hospital."
"Fine, we're going home in a few anyway, the nurse just came in and gave us five minutes"
