Sophie and I ate our breakfasts and took our daily walk down the beach, and when we returned, Drake was up and in the shower. I made a pot of coffee and sat in front of the flat screen so I could watch some news while Sophie played on the floor with her toys. When Drake was finished with his shower, he emerged from the back room dressed in a pair of shorts, his chest bare, his hair still wet.

He bent down and kissed me warmly. "Mrs. Morgan," he said and stroked my cheek. "I am eager to spend the entire night with you tonight."

"Me as well," I said and smiled up at him.

He went over to Sophie and picked her up. "And I'm looking forward to spending most of the day with you, Miss Sophia." He kissed her on her cheeks and sat down beside me with Sophie on his lap. "Maybe your mom can go to her studio and do some painting."

He glanced over at me expectantly.

"I'm okay," I said, not wanting to tie up the day at all with my trip to the studio. That was the lowest priority on my to-do list. "Do you want me to get you a cup of coffee?" I went to the kitchen to refill mine.

"Please," Drake said. "And bring me one of those croissants."

"Coming right up."

I poured him a cup and grabbed a croissant from the container then I sat back down beside him and he put Sophie back onto the floor. She was more interested in crawling around to get her toys at the moment and was happy to be left to herself.

"I got a call from Brenda," I said and proceeded to tell Drake about the conversation.

"I'd like to spend time with Liam," Drake said. "I might take him up with me to the hospital."

I frowned. "Do you think that's wise? Won't it be upsetting to him?"

Drake shook his head. "Liam's seen more sickness and death than most of us have. He spent a lot of time on hospital wards, around other children who were sick and some of whom died. He doesn't understand it the way an adult does, but I think he'd be fine. I'll talk to Brenda and see what she thinks, of course."

"Of course," I said, realizing that Liam wasn't an ordinary child. Having cancer altered them, making them see the world differently than a child who has never been ill. "Whatever you think."

Drake took out his cell and called Brenda. I watched him while he waited, amazed that he could face all this turmoil in his life and still seem positive.

Finally, she answered.

"Hello," he said and smiled. "Yes, I'd like to very much. Maybe we could get some ice cream and go to the beach. Let me talk to your grandma, okay?"

He raised his eyebrows at me and waited. She must have come on the line and Drake said hello and nodded.

"Thank you. Yes, it was a shock of course. I'd like to visit with Liam today.
