Special thanks to fandomsorbooks go follow.👍

"Come on Mr. Royal, we have to get some fresh air." I said.

"Oh this fresh air... This air isn't as fresh anymore. It's what makes us old!"

"None of that negativity Mr. Royal. The sun is out and -"

"The sun makes my blood boil."

"Your wife is already waiting for you..." I said. He sighed knowing well he was going to have to go outside. I helped him up off his bed and onto his wheel chair. We left his room and made our way through halls and rooms.

Becoming a nurse was even better when I got to take care of Mr. Royal. He was a big mouth sometimes but I enjoyed being with him at work. This man had been through so much and he had the best stories ever.

He was my motivation. He was the one I meet in the elevator the first time I was going to see Taylor after the accident. He was the reason I even saw Taylor. He was the one that got me to see that there is so much more in life then to just be depressed. He didn't think I was crazy. He didn't try to put me in a mental hospital. He just helped me. He gave me hope.

"Jenny called and said she was coming over." He spoke.

"Who wouldn't want to visit you Mr. Royal?"

"I may be old but not stupid, my dear James. Jenny only comes to be with you." He sighed.

We got to a patio table and I sat down on a chair. "Mr. Royal, I'm here to do my job. Besides you know I only got eyes for one girl."

"Jenny would never visit me. She only started coming around when you started to care for me."

"That adds to the reasons why I have no interest in her. What kind of a girl never visits their grandfather? Specially if he's as amazing as you Mr. Royal."

"Oh James," He laughed waving me off. "You know exactly where to hit this old man with words."

"You're 77 Mr. Royal, that's not old."

"I wish all employees at this place were as encouraging as you, James. You and your friends know how to make us feel like time has stopped and we are no longer getting old." He said.

"Old? Who is talking about old? There ain't a thing old around here." Jess came up to us. She was all in her green and black scrubs like me. She didn't have her snapback or piercing on. She at least tried to look professional. She helped Mrs. Royal make her way to our table and sit down.

"Good afternoon Mr. Royal." Jess did a little bow.

"Good afternoon Jess." He greeted.

"Oh Mrs. Royal is that you? You look as young as ever m'lady." I gave her hand a kiss. She laughed at my nonsense.

"Such a charmer aren't you? I believe you are afraid us females will beat you again." She said.

"Well Mrs. Royal only one way to find out. Let's start this game." I said.

"I brought the cards today!" Jess said putting the deck of cards on the table.

Once again it was female vs male at a game of Go Fish.

---------------------------------------------------------

It was a sad game of Go Fish. Sad for us men because the ladies won us again. I swear they were cheating that's why Jess would always bring the deck of cards.
