24 hours later Amy was fully awake, Howard and Sarah were at her side.

When can I see Sheldon?

We have some bad news Amy.

A week later the plaster cast was removed from Amy's leg. She took her first steps in six weeks with the aid of Howard, a nurse and a walking frame. A week later she was walking with a cane and was getting stir crazy.

Howard, I want to get out of here.

Next day, Howard, Amy, Sarah and Doctor Smith had a talk.

Amy, your mother and your friend tell me you want to leave.

That's right Doctor, I can walk now, well sort of.

Yes, you are still very weak, you will still need daily physiotherapy.

She can stay with me whilst she recovers, my house is only a mile from the hospital and the University are letting me work from home for the next few months.

Surely she should say with her mother.

Sarah, you live in a small apartment on the top floor. Amy could live on the ground floor of my house. I feel guilty for Amy's injury, it was my idea to go on the train.

I don't care where I live as long as it is not in here.
