Chapter 6
Savannahâs day was already full, so having Timothy not feeling well wasnât helping, but she desperately wanted to stop in and visit with him, if only she had a chance. Yet it seemed every time she was clearing up some time to see him, something went wrong, and she couldnât get there.
When she did finally get to his room, it was almost the end of the day. She knocked gently and then poked her head around the corner. Sure enough, he was sound asleep. She quickly withdrew and noted that Shane was coming toward Timothyâs room. âI donât know if youâre expecting to see him or not, but I think heâs napping.â
âIn that case,â Shane murmured, âI wonât talk to him. I was checking in to see how he was doing anyway.â
âWhich is what Iâm doing too.â She smiled. âAnd it seems heâs holding but tired. I checked his file, and nothing sparks an alarm, but ⦠Iâd like to see him perk up a bit more.â
âAnd I can understand that,â Shane noted, smiling back at her. âEnough is going on in his world right now.â
âI just wish we could solve his budget issues.â
âAnd we will, as soon as we get that chance, but itâs never easy or fast stuff to sort out. There arenât always happy endings to these cases.â
âAnd why is that?â she asked sadly. âYou would think that there should be, on merit alone.â
âAnd there probably is,â he suggested, with a bright smile. âYet that doesnât mean necessarily itâll be decided the way we think it should.â
âRight? You would think that the government would let a veteran stay until heâs done. It would save them in the long-term.â
âWe still havenât heard back on the appeal yet, have we?â
âI havenât heard anything. Sometimes itâs so hard to keep our faith in the system.â
âAnd just when youâve lost faith, they do something that makes you realize itâs all worthwhile,â he added. âSo stand strong. Something will pop.â
And, with that, she had to trust. She nodded. As she was about to step away, she heard someone call out. She hesitated and then opened the door. âIs that you I heard?â
He reached out a sleepy hand to her. âHey. Good to see you.â
âIâve been trying to come by and see you all day.â She smiled, as she walked closer. âI havenât really had a chance to get clear from the work until just now.â
âAnd work comes first.â
âIt does sometimes,â she muttered. âSometimes thereâs really no choice.â
âAre there problems?â he asked. âDid something blow up here that I havenât heard about?â
She shrugged. âThere are always problems but nothing major.â
âGood.â Timothy yawned. âI didnât really think I would sleep, but apparently I needed a nap.â
She chuckled. âSleep is always a good way to fight off something like this. Gives the body a chance to heal.â
He shifted in the bed and sat up slightly.
âDo you want to adjust your bed?â
âNo, itâs probably fine.â He yawned a couple more times. âWow.â He looked around sheepishly.
