He left the room to give them privacy. David's mother, who was a great cook, brought over some soup. David had told his mother his girlfriend had gotten real sick and was hurt bad. The woman was kind and since Ethan had helped with a lot of things around her home her landlord wouldn't take care, she was more than happy to give him a hand at sticking to the doctor's diet for Nicole. Tonight she brought a nice cream soup with mushrooms and finely diced chicken with noodles. It smelled delicious.
"I brought an extra helping for you too. You should eat as well."
Ethan had to insist she take the money he offered, and reluctantly she did and left.
When the nurse left, he returned to Nicole's room. She was changed in a nice pink gown, her hair freshly combed, still down although the front drawn back out her face, and looking very refreshed after the warm sponge bath.
He placed the tray carefully on her lap. It was big enough to hold both of their bowls. He made tea for her while he took a cold beer. She looked amused at this as she tasted the soup and smiled with pleasure. Ethan told her who had cooked it and then explained the neighbors had been more than helpful with him since they found out he was taking care of a sick "friend."
