Charlene and Thorne walked side by side out of the hospital room. Once they'd put some distance between themselves and the door, Charlene spoke first. "If you have something to say, now's your chance."

Thorne glanced over at her. "My grandmother's condition still isn't stable. I'd like to put off the divorce for a few more days."

Charlene didn't look at him, but his words didn't come as a surprise.

After a brief pause, she said, "Alright."

"Thank you." As she was about to leave, Thorne added, "Is there anything you want? As a thank you, I'd like to help you with something, or grant you a wish- anything within my power."

Thorne gave a small laugh, watching her profile. "How do you know what I thought you meant?"

Charlene had no idea what he'd read into her words. From his tone, though, she could tell he wasn't upset.
