"Hello, yes, I'd like to pick up Ms. Jessie Worth. I was informed she would be ready to go today. Ok, thank you."

"Hm? Sorry, I was asleep. What were you saying?...Someone's here to pick me up? Great!...Sure, load me into that wheelchair. I'm ready. (starts singing I'm Ready by AJR...but I digress) ...Oh, yeah. I'm feeling fine."

"Hi, Ms. Worth. Are you ready to go home?"

"Indeed I am, Mr. Tomlinson."

"Oh, nurse, don't worry about the wheelchair, I can manage. ...Yes, I'm quite sure."

"Thank you kindly, Mr. Tomlinson. I appreciate that."

"You're quite welcome, Ms. Worth."

"..."

"Ok, can you climb into the passenger seat?"

"Of course."

"Pardon me, Ms. High-and-mighty."

"Ha. You're a riot, Mr. Tomlinson."

"Don't I know it."

"Whew."

"What is it? That seemed like a particularly melancholy sigh."

"I had to act all happy-go-lucky for the nurses, and I'm really glad to drop that act."

"And why is that?"

"I'm really not."

"Not what?"

"Eyes on the road, Tomlinson."

"Sorry. Not what?"

"Happy-go-lucky."

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah. Don't you remember? I was diagnosed with severe clinical depression. That kind of thing tends to weigh a little heavily on the heart, you know."

"Yeah, I...yeah."

"Hey. Hey, Tomlinson, the hotel is that way."

"I know."
