"Ain't you supposed to be headed down to that trail ride? It's going on 2 o'clock now I told you I was fine Trinity," Cassandra fussed at her niece who was fluffing the pillows on the gray upholstered day bed, "I'm comfortable,"
Trinity stepped away while holding her hands behind her back, attempting to restrain herself from anymore fluffing, "Wait this pillow is a little crooked let me just..." she gave it a quick pop and surrendered yet again
"You finished?" Cassandra asks withholding laughter as Trinity nodded "Thank you for everything you've done on this morning, leading up to this afternoon— it's time for you to go out and enjoy yourself though,"
"I know but my main priority is to make sure you're fine before I leave," she then retrieved the 7 day pill planner assigned for Cassandra and emptied out its contents for Sunday; Yet Trinity realized that the previous pills from the day before hadn't been consumed, "Auntie... why are the pills from yesterday still here?"

"I was proud of him when he received his CDL, the same way I was proud of your single-member LLC, that you've tossed to the side ever since you got the news of my diagnosis— don't allow what's going on in my life to deter you from operating in your dreams and desires,"
Trinity's salted and lukewarm tears pooled out of her hazel eyes, her Aunt was literally her life line and with her health constantly declining, she felt obligated to put whatever she had going on hold in order to ensure Cassandra was fine until a miracle happened, until then Trinity swore to be hopelessly devoted to her Aunt,
