paper work

Martin placed Libby on the couch in the Lobby.The Dr. lead Martin into his office to fill out more paper work. Martin repeatedly glanced through the window at Libby making sure she didn’t wake and wander away.
Mr.Holden
Call me Martin.
Martin how long has Libby been in this condition?
It started about a year ago, she started to forget things.
Hardly noticeable at first, then one day I come home and found she had wandered away.
We found her sitting in the park staring off into space.
Her speech slurred a little like she was high on something or drunk.
Now it’s every day.
She should be out for a couple of hours and then, well you make your observation doctor.
