For breakfast, Owen brought her fruit, yogurt, and granola from the buffet in the hotel lobby. For lunch, he ventured out for provisions and returned with cheesesteaks.

“It will be a little taste of home,” he said, unrolling them from their paper wrappings. He laid them out on paper plates and handed one to Lizzy. “Wiz wit!”

She picked it up reluctantly and took a bite. “That’s disgusting,” she said, and dropped it back onto the plate.

Owen had taken a bite of his as well. “Yeah, that’s not good.” He put it aside.

Much to her shame, Lizzy felt her throat tighten with impending tears. “I’m sick of this,” she said. “I’m sick of living in crappy hotels where it’s impossible to get a good night’s sleep. I’m sick of not being able to do anything except lie here. And I’m sick of not being home.” She kept her eyes steadfastly on her clenched hands, knowing that if she looked at Owen, the dam would burst.

“Oh, Pumpkin, I know. Is there anything I can do—”

“No,” she interrupted him ungraciously.

He sighed. “It’s too bad the yoga practice isn’t helping.”

There was a long silence, then Lizzy said in a voice that had lost the quaver of her earlier pronouncements, “I didn’t think of that.”

“Pardon me?”

She looked up, her expression a mixture of relief and embarrassment. “I didn’t think about using the yoga.”

Owen hopped up. “Tell you what—why don’t you have a yoga whatever-it’s-called and I’m going to go out again and see if I can find something decent to eat.”

“Okay.”

“Any requests?”

“Anything that isn’t fake food from home.”

“No scrapple?” he asked.

She smiled. “No, no scrapple.”

Owen returned an hour later with Mexican to find Lizzy sleeping peacefully.
