“Time for this old woman to hit the hay.” Jen yawned widely. She was stretched out on one of the couches, her feet in Aaron’s lap. She nudged him with her toes.

“Yeah. I’ve got to get back to work tomorrow. We don’t all have the day off.” He tickled the soles of her feet.

“I know—I’m a real slacker. I’ll think of your sacrifices next time I’m up to my elbows in some guy’s intestines and I’m working a double.”

“You were only at the hospital for, like, thirteen hours today.” Aaron rolled his eyes. “Such a drama queen with your saving lives.”

David smiled as he watched them get to their feet. He and Isaac were on the other couch, sitting close but not touching. Sound reverberated through the room from the TV, a fast song that played while the credits scrolled the screen. He kept turning his head during the movie, at one point certain a door was opening behind them. But of course there were speakers behind them in the walls and in the ceiling.

Jen put on her slippers. “You guys know how it works, yeah? There’ll be another movie after this, or you can turn the channels to find something else. And we have a ton of Blu-rays and DVDs in the cabinet. Whatever you want.”

The phone rang, and she frowned, checking her cell on the coffee table. “Hospital would try me on this first.” The cordless house phone was sitting on the table as well, and she glanced at the little screen before saying hello. She was silent for a moment. “Oh hi. Yes—Aaron’s wife. Is everything okay? It must be midnight there.” Her eyes met David’s. “He is. Hold on.”

David’s heart sank. “Who is it?”

Jen held her hand over the bottom of the phone. “Your friend June.”

For a moment he was terribly tempted to ask her to take a message, which was ridiculous. He should be excited to speak to June. What’s the matter with me? He reached out, aware of the TV going silent. Isaac perched beside him, watching with concern.

David put the phone to his ear. “Hello?”

June’s voice was so clear she could have been sitting right next to him. “Hi, David. Gosh it’s good to hear your voice. Is this too late to call?”

“No. Is something wrong? It’s late for you.” He glanced at Aaron and Jen, who stood by the TV, waiting.

“Everything’s okay. I couldn’t sleep, and thought I’d take a chance that I could catch you. I’m sorry to worry you.”

He exhaled in a rush. “Okay. I’m glad to hear it.” He smiled at the others.

Jen and Aaron waved goodnight, and Isaac stood as well, pushing the big red button on the plastic remote control. The TV went dark.

David said to June, “I just need to…please wait for a moment.” He whispered to Isaac, “You don’t have to go.”

“It’s okay. Take your time. Tell her I said hello.” Isaac pecked his cheek and disappeared up the stairs.

“Hello?” David put the phone to his ear again.
