The day after Bernardette's funeral Howard returned to Amy's room. This time Mrs Fowler was absent.
Howard sat by Amy's bed and held her hand.
Looks like it's just the two of us today Amy, oh what I day I had yesterday. At least Bernardette's funeral was the last one. Lots of people turned up, your mother was kind enough to come with me. Mike Massimino came from NASA, Stuart came from the Comic Book store. There were a few from the University; Kripke, Leslie Winkle, Gablehauser, Janine Davis. They said take my time returning to work. Did you ever meet my half-brother Josh? My father had another family after he ran away, Josh came with his girlfriend from San Diego. I suppose he is my closest family now, at least until you wake up.
As he said that Mrs Fowler arrived.
Hello Howard.
Hello Mrs Fowler, Sarah.
Sorry I'm late, car problems.
Thank you again for coming to the funeral yesterday.
It was the least I could do.
Hello Doctor Smith. How is she doing?
Well her internal injuries are healing up OK, it will take her a while to get walking again with her broken leg, when she wakes up.
