Joycelyn changed her profile picture and put her phone away. Hered, she casually asked Ellison, “Wasn’t Isolde doing better last time? Isn’t she about to leave the hospital soon?”

“Same old issue,” Ellison replied, “She looks fine most of the time but when the weather gets cold or it rains, her head and legs hurt. Plus, she had a shock last time, and hasn’t fully recovered.

Ellison turned his head, looking at her with a teasing smile. “It wasn’t quite sleeping on the floor, you know, I had a suite on that floor. Want to experience it next time you’re tired?”

Joycelyn froze for a second, her eyes narrowing slightly as she studied him. She knew exactly what kind of ‘experience” he
