Chapter 16

Today is Ellery’s first chemotherapy treatment. I got up, showered, got dressed, and headed to the kitchen for coffee. Denny was already sitting at the table, eating the breakfast Claire had made.

“Good morning, Connor. Can I make you some breakfast?” Claire asked.

“Good morning, Claire. I’m just going to have some coffee,” I replied.

I sat down at the table across from Denny as Claire brought me a cup of coffee and a plate with banana bread on it. I looked up at her and smiled.

“I made it at home last night, and I know how much you love it,” she smiled.

I got up and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Thank you, Claire. As always, I appreciate you taking care of me.”

Denny looked at me intently. “Are you ready to see her?” he asked.

“I don’t know,” I answered as I took a sip of coffee. “I don’t know how she’s going to react when she sees me.”

“Well it’s going to be a bit awkward since the two of you haven’t spoken since the day you left her.”

I looked at him as I took a bite of banana bread. “Do you really need to keep bringing that up?”

“I’m just saying that maybe you should have called her before today. You’re just going to show up unexpected, and she’s probably going to kick you in the balls,” Denny said.

“Nice, Denny. Thanks for the vote of confidence, and I don’t think she’d do that.”

“Have you met Ellery Lane?” Denny laughed.

I rolled my eyes and got up from the table. I put my cup and plate in the dishwasher, then looked at my watch. It was 8:30 am, and Ellery’s chemo begins in 30 minutes.

I climbed into the limo, and Denny drove me to the hospital.

“Good luck, Connor,” Denny said.

“Thanks, Denny; I’m going to need it,” I said as I climbed out of the backseat.

I walked into the hospital and followed the signs to the cancer treatment center. I stepped through the doors of a large waiting room. The receptionist asked if she could help me, and I told her I was here for Ellery. A nurse was standing there looking over a chart and overheard me.

“You’re here for Ellery Lane?” She asked.

“Yes, I’m Connor Black.”

She looked at me and tilted her head. “She said that nobody was going to be here with her.”

I pursed my lips together, “She isn’t expecting me.”

“Are you the husband, friend, or boyfriend?” she asked.

“It’s complicated, but I’m her friend,” I replied.

She smiled and waved her hand for me to follow her down the long hallway. We approached a large room that was filled with oversized chairs, IV poles, and curtains. She took me to the fourth chair and opened the curtain.

“Someone is here to see you,” Nurse Bailey smiled.

Ellery looked up from her phone and a wave of shock hit her face. “What are you doing here, Connor?!” She asked quite rudely.

To see her sitting there in her yoga pants and a baggy sweatshirt was a sight for sore eyes.
