"She... she.." Eliza began. Maybe I shouldn't have asked.
"She ran away a while ago too. She got really really sick. She's still in the hospital." she said, sadly.
"Oh wow. Stuff has really changed around here." I said. I was fidgeting with my hands again. "How long until you are released?" I asked.
"About three weeks they told me." she said.
"Well when Graham gets home from work I am going to stop and see Emma in the hospital, want me to come and get you?" I asked.
"Would you? I'd love to go see her. I think she would love to see you too." she said, smiling.
"Sure! We'll come around six or so. Be ready!" I said. "I better get going, Eliza." I hugged her. "Stay safe." I said, pointing my finger at her.
"You sound like my mother." she said, laughing.
"Exactly what I was going for." I said, laughing along. I hugged everyone again and put my jacket back on. I went back outside into the 34 degree weather. At least that's what the bank's time and temperature sign said. I figured it would have been better to stay home. I was already feeling sick. I was about two blocks from home and my eyes began watering from the blistering cold. I felt a cold coming on.
It was about three when I got home. Graham was due home in about two hours. I decided to make a sandwich. I was going to try and eat a whole half this time too. I was really tired and groggy while I was making my sandwich. I decided to lie down for a while and sleep it off.
