After the assembly, Nicholas’s teacher, Miss Nightingale, stopped for a moment to say hello. “How’s Nicholas doing at school?” Eleanor asked, feeling suddenly disconnected from his life.

“He’s been a little off. But nothing to worry about. He was upset you weren’t at the last soccer game. After he scored a goal he looked for you and crumbled when he couldn’t find you.”

“I was away for work. I’ve been to all Nicholas’s games.”

“I wouldn’t worry. He just needs a little encouragement.” She and Michael walked to the subway. Eleanor saw him checking his pager. She was still disturbed about Nicholas. She could forget that underneath his confident exterior he was vulnerable. Sometimes he needed just to catch her eye in the bleachers to build his confidence when he was on the field. “Do you think my trip was hard on Nicholas?”

“He’s fine. And besides, you’re home now. I have to work late tonight. Brian and I are getting closer to developing the stent I’ve been talking to you about.”

“Couldn’t you get someone else for tonight? Nicholas will be disappointed. You know how he counts on our dinners together on Fridays.”

“Eleanor, this is big. It could save countless lives.”
