Annie visited Dr. Borden on Friday afternoon and was told that the swelling in her ankle had gone down enough that she could remove the boot. It was still too sore to walk on, though, so she’d be relying on the crutches a bit longer.

“What about the Halloween bout?” she asked, her voice so hopeful it almost sounded desperate.

Dr. Borden frowned. “Still can’t say for sure. It looks promising, but I don’t want to make a definite decision just yet. We’ll have another look at in a week.”

Annie decided to take a glass-half-full approach and consider that good news. After all, he hadn’t said no.

“By the way,” said Dr. Borden, as Annie’s dad handed her the crutches. “I told my kids about the bout. They can’t wait to go!”

“That’s great!” said Annie. “I’ll save them some extra pieces of candy.”

“Better not do that,” said the doctor, winking. “My wife’s a dentist!”

In the hallway, Annie waved to the nurse, Martha. “Coming to the bout?”

“Wouldn’t miss it!”

“Sounds like this is shaping up to be a real event,” Dad observed as they exited the emergency room.

“Yeah,” said Annie, struggling to remain optimistic. “I only hope I’ll get to be a part of it.”
