A few days after Liz Mullins’ visit, Carrie’s cellphone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw a Seattle area code. She was afraid it would be Melanie and contemplated not answering. But, to her surprise, Dr. Lionel’s voice greeted her.

“Hello. How are you?” Carrie asked.

“I’m good. But, more importantly, how are you? No trouble with your new pacemaker?”

“No. I feel, you know, good. A little tired, but mostly good.”

“I’m glad to hear that, but I wasn’t really calling to check on you. Do you remember my nurse practitioner, Elizabeth Kozera?”

“Sure. Beth. How is she? Didn’t she just get married?”

“Not exactly. She’s had a pretty bad go of it lately. Any chance she might visit you for a while?”

“Well, sure. She’s welcome to come and stay, but I can’t offer much in the way of amenities.”

“I think a change of scenery is the amenity she needs most. Plus, she can give me firsthand reports on you. Your sister tells me you’re clinging to life. I just hope you didn’t get off your deathbed to answer the phone.”

Carrie laughed. “To quote one of my favorite Missourians, ‘Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated.’”

“Great! I’ll have my office manager work out all the travel details, and she’ll call you with Beth’s flight information. Thanks, Carrie. I appreciate it.”
