Twenty minutes later Danielle returns to the room. She finds Martin sleeping in the bed closest to the door. She sets her purchases down on the table by the tv.

She pours herself a cup of diet coke and grabs a doughnut stick from the box. She enjoys her snack in silence. She then gets out Martin’s meds, and pours him a cup of sprite. She walks over to him and wakes him up. Here Hon ya gotta take this. He complies and lies back down.

Danielle walks over to her bed and curls up with a book. She begins to read a few chapters. She does this for about half an hour. Until she feels that she could not be in bed for another minute.

Thirty minutes later Martin gets up.. He walks over to the table and sifts through the bag. He sees a few boxes of crackers.. He knows she got them for him. He eats a few and returns to bed. There he turns on the tv. It feels good to be awake again, he thinks to himself. Moments later Danielle joins him. The two watch tv together… Just like home.
