Two months after the train Amy finally left the hospital and went to live on the ground floor of Howard's house. Amy sublet her apartment to a visiting scientist at the University, Howard and Stuart helped move her things to Howard's house.
Eventually they got into a routine, Sarah would look after Amy on Friday mornings when Howard had a meeting at the University. At first there were plenty of visitors, friends from the University, Amy started to write up some of her research work for publication. Stuart would come at least once a week and Howard's brother Josh came a couple of times.
Every day it was back to the hospital for physiotherapy until Amy could walk a bit more easily. Then the physiotherapist would come to the house once a week. The visitors dwindled to Sarah and Stuart but Amy was slowly coming to terms with her new life.
Then one day Amy said "Howard, can we go to the park, I want to walk outside."
So they went to the park, Howard took Amy by the hand and helped her walk very slowly round the lake. As Amy got stronger they would go to the park more often, she didn't need Howard's support to walk but she would hold his hand just the same.
