"With everything going on, I haven't had the chance." A small pause followed. "I worry about him. Is he alright? What is he doing these days?"

"Maybe you should make time to go and see him."

She tilted her head slightly, trying to glimpse his expression, but gave up when she realized it would mean leaving the cocoon of his arms. "I'm surprised you would say that. I know you don't exactly..."
