With a small nod to Sophia, she strode towards the door, leaving the space open for Robin.

Seated at the bedside, Robin held Sophia’s hand with an apologetic look, “I’m sorry, Sophia. I’ve really been a louse.”

Sophia shook her head, her understanding smile brightening the room, “It’s alright. I know you’ve been busy. It’s just a cold; a bit of rest, some meds, and I’ll bounce back in no time.”

Robin nodded, “How are you feeling now?”

“Much better, my throat isn’t sore anymore,” Sophia’s voice was cheery, “I’m thinking about checking out soon. Estelle doesn’t agree, but you can talk to her about it later.”

“Just finished.”

“Hungry for anything else?”
