. would ever want to, y'know, do something?'He grinned and chuckled, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt a little, the top three buttons left undone o... his shirt, showing the line down his chest. 'Do something?' He shook his head and chuckled. 'Two months, and that's all you could come up with?' He smirked.I looked into his eyes, softly yet a little bitterly. 'And what do you want me to say?'He shrugged. 'Whatever's on your mind.' He sat down to pull on a pair of black slacks and his fingers. In the morning, we packed up and decided to try to head to the Dalish camp. At first I tried to walk; Alistair took my pack, as usual, and I smiled gratefully at him. It quickly became obvious, however, that even unburdened I wasn't going to get very far. My feet were dragging before I'd gone fifty steps, and at one point I actually fell asleep on my feet, and collapsed, waking with a start when my face hit the dirt. Dreading what was next, I sat huddled into a ball. As I expected, Alistair. "Thanks Dad. But call me if you need me. Number is on the fridge." I won't!" he answered cheerfully.Alan shot him a look, then smiled as he went out the door. The screen door slammed loudly behind him. Tim watched proudly as his son casually tossed the duffel bag into the back of the weathered truck, hopped in the cab, and with a general wave back at the house, sped off down the dirt road.*********"GODDAMMIT CHRIS!" He shouted, beet red in the face. An unbecoming bit of spittle flew from his. "Sure."So, after lunch, we headed for the hospital. When we walked intoNan's room, I was surprised as to how she looked. I knew she had beenhurt. But, a cast on one leg, a number of bandages, all kinds ofwires and an IV line. I just stood there and stared."Hi guys." Nan said, "Don't be afraid, it isn't as bad as it looks."Nan was always upbeat, no matter how bad things were. We walked overto her bed, Katie bent down and gave her a kiss on the cheek. And Itried to smile at her. Nan looked at me.
