Cornelia brought a tray with four dishes to Zoey's room.

The room was still occupied by Elvis and Wilma, who hadn't left yet.

Cornelia had to leave by evening, so she quickly explained things to Zoey.

"lI won't have any days off for the next month, and the doc says you can start chewing ssoft stuff. Wilma and I will help you sit

up. You know, it's kinda awkward for Elvis, being a guy and all."

At that moment, Elvis coughed twice and gestured toward the corridor, "Maybe I should step outside for a bit."

Wilma's eyes darted mischievously as she grabbed his arm.

"Uncle Elvis, I'll keep you company."

With that, she desperately winked at Cornelia.

She rubbed her temples and sighed, "Why don't you both step out then?"

Wilma, thrilled, rushed forward, grabbed Zoey's hand, and smacked a couple of tic kisses on it.

"Cornelia will feed you, Zoey. I'll cback in a bit."

Then she hustled Elvis out the door, leaving him slightly uncomfortable.
