Royce gulped air and nodded. “Th-thanks.”

“It’s not enough to get them away from her, Royce,” Dale went on in a more subdued tone, “but it’s enough to get them here for visitation. It’s another log on the fire, buddy, and before long Pamela’s going to find her skirts are burning.”

Royce nodded again. “Sure. Okay. Great. But I can’t relax until I see them. I just can’t.” He pushed his plate away and reached for the crutches.

“No,” Merrily said, rising. “Let me get the chair. I don’t want you up for a while. The last thing you need at this point is another fall.”

Sighing, he let his hand fall to his lap. “Whatever. I am feeling pretty beat at the moment.”

Merrily hurried to get the chair. Then together she and Dale pushed Royce into his room. He struggled out of his shirt, collapsed onto the bed and waved them both away, rolling heavily onto his side with his back to them.

“I just want to sleep,” he said. “Finish your dinner and let me be.”

“Do you need something for pain?” Merrily asked.

“Will you just leave me alone!”

His anguish reached out to her, but Dale caught her by the arm as she stepped toward the bed and silently shook his head. Merrily considered for a moment and knew that he was right. What Royce needed most now was a moment to lick his wounds. Nodding, she allowed Dale to lead her from the room.

“I’m worried about him,” Dale said softly once they had closed the bedroom door behind him. “What did the doctor say at his last checkup?”

“Physically he’s doing fine,” Merrily assured him, “following the doctor’s instructions to the letter, but he’s frustrated and worried about his children.”
