Maura sat on the floor cross-legged, back straight, eyes closed. Angela was next to her in the same position. A few months ago, Angela had surprised Maura by asking if they could do yoga and mediation together. Maura happily agreed since Jane wouldn't do those things with her and it was a nice way to strengthen her relationship with Angela.

Angela didn't care much for yoga but they still went to a class together occasionally. Angela really took to meditation thought. Sometimes they went to a meditation studio together but most Sunday mornings they simply spent an hour meditating together either in Maura's house or outside if was nice.

This morning they were interrupted by a knock at the front door. Maura got up to answer it, thinking maybe Jane had arrived earlier than she had planned on and forgot her keys or something. But when Maura opened the door she found herself face to face with Patrick Doyle.

"What are you doing here?" Maura asked, trying to keep her voice low.

"I need to talk to you."

"You shouldn't have come here," Maura said.

"Is everything okay, honey," Angela called from the living room.

Maura turned around toward Angela and said, "Yes, everything is fine. Can you give us some privacy?"

Angela took a good look at Doyle before nodding to Maura and leaving through the back door to go to the guest house.

Maura watched her go and then turned back to Doyle. "Come in," Maura said, moving aside to let him in. Maura took a seat on the couch and indicated for Doyle to take a seat in the chair. "What are you here for?"

"I'm dying," he said as he sat on the edge of the chair.

Maura finally really looked Doyle over. He was noticeably thinner and he looked pale. "I can't help you."

"No one can help me. I hadn't been to a doctor in years, for obvious reasons. When I finally went because I couldn't breathe, they found lung cancer, stage four, and it's spread to other parts of my body. I don't know, I stopped paying attention to all the details of what the doctor was saying after I heard the word cancer. The doctors said my only options were experimental treatments or palliative care."

"Did you get a second opinion? I have connections. I can talk to people."

Doyle shook his head "No. I decided I wanted to die with some dignity. A lot of guys like me don't make it this long or get to choose how they die. I just want to be made comfortable and die in peace. But there are loose ends I want to tie up before I go."

At that moment the front door burst open and Jane came barreling inside. When she saw Patrick Doyle, Jane instinctively pulled her gun off of her hip and pointed it at him.

Maura stood and yelled, "Jane, don't. Everything's fine."

"What's he doing here?" Jane asked.

"I'm-" Doyle started to say.

"Shut up," Jane spat. "I asked Maura."

"He's dying. Lung cancer," Maura responded.

Jane still
