He struggled to put his jacket on, only to be yelled at by his brother, Richard. “Stan, the doctor told you not to put any weight on that foot for a few days. You’re not ready to go any place just yet. Tomorrow will be soon enough.”

“It’s been a few days and I want to go see Rachael to make sure she knows I didn’t stand her up the other night.”

“You really have something going on with this girl, don’t you?” Richard took Stan’s jacket from him and hung it back up on the hook by the door.

“Yes, I do have feelings for her and I want to see her as soon as possible. She’s beautiful, Richard, and very very nice.”

“How does she feel about you?”

“Don’t really know, but she acts like she likes me. As I told you, she invited me to her house to meet her parents. I think that’s a sure sign she likes me at least.”

“Well, take it easy and wait until tomorrow. She’s not going anywhere.” Richard went to the little stove in the small space he called his kitchen and put on a pot of coffee.

The apartment of three rooms and a bath was shared by the brothers… two bedrooms, a living room with space for a table, two chairs, a small ice box, and the stove. Richard was older than Stan but had never married. He had a job with the government that took him out of the country for nine months out of the year. Home now for the holidays, he'd said he wanted to share some time with Stan because the two of them were all that was left of their family.

“It’s a good thing that lady stopped her car before she ran you over when you fell down in the street. Nice of her to take you to the hospital too.”

“I know. I thanked her before she left the emergency room. She stayed there to make sure I was going to be all right. The pain in my ankle was so bad, I could hardly tolerate it. I still don’t know how I twisted my foot like that. Before I knew it, I was down and couldn’t get up.”

“Try to stay off of it as much as you can so the sprain will heal. Want some coffee?”

“Yeah, I’ll have a cup. I still would like to go see Rachael, but I guess you’re right about doing too much too soon.”

“Tomorrow you start your new job at the department store and I’m sure you’ll connect with this Rachael girl, so relax tonight and stop worrying.” He poured the coffee and carried the two cups to the table where Stan sat, nodding his head.
