Lorraine looped her stethoscope around the nape of her neck as she walked down the corridor toward the nurse’s station. She happened to glance in room 312 and recognized the profile of the man sitting next to Mr. Jenkins. She stopped abruptly and backed up to stand outside the door. Peeking around the corner, she saw Dylan smoothing the sheet and then feeding soup to the man in the bed.

“Come on, Walt, if you don’t eat, you can’t go home.”

“I’m halfway home now. Jesus is waiting for me on the other side. I’m tired and I’m ready for heaven.”

The scene quickened her heart and shortened her breath to a hyperventilated state. Spying on her estranged husband, she felt a twinge of guilt. Not that she was out of line in looking or listening, because she had a right to be here. No, the thing that bothered her most was seeing Dylan’s benevolence toward the elderly gentleman. The loving concern that she saw just now bothered her because it blew holes in the excuses she used to justify her decisions. But more than that, if she was honest, seeing Dylan brought a guilty thrill.

An orderly walked by, and Lorraine bent down pretending to tie her shoe. The orderly said, “Helen’s looking for you at the nurse’s station.”

“…when a man finds his missing rib, he’ll just know inside that she’s the one.”

“Yes, I know,” Lorraine told the orderly.

“I know what you mean, Walter. I know what you mean.”

Lorraine hurried past the doorway and sprinted toward the nurse’s station.
