The nurse quickly changes the channel. The HAPPY DAYS THEME SONG replaces the droll voice of the anchor. Athol glares at the TV, fuming.
FREDRICK (O.S)733Please respect copyright.PENANAbDFukWDK4H
Are we going to have another Jerry on our733Please respect copyright.PENANAqXqRMJCJsp

Athol turns and sees a grim-looking, though smiling Fredrick. He sits across from her, and exhaling exasperatedly lets her pencil flop onto the table. 733Please respect copyright.PENANASBcr5Igrlg

(with a sigh)733Please respect copyright.PENANAJj678oEpFT
Yeah.733Please respect copyright.PENANAEXQaaUOYH2
Athol sighs herself and rolls her head back. Fredrick fiddles with his coat before reaching over and taking Athol's word search, continuing from where she left off. Athol looks back at him curiously. 733Please respect copyright.PENANAIzx1v3OQJi

Athol suddenly throws her pencil at him, hitting him square on the head. He looks up, surprised. Athol's sitting back in her chair with crossed arms. 733Please respect copyright.PENANATfNAK9PvN9

Fredrick stands and walks to the window, rubbing the hem of his coat. Athol frowns, shakes her head slightly, and walks over to him, rubbing his back and leaning against him. Fredrick doesn't look at her. 733Please respect copyright.PENANArZMVRqylhs
FREDRICK733Please respect copyright.PENANAT1PW1EKMxq

Because I'm making it personal. 733Please respect copyright.PENANAkQbbnMW55h
Athol frowns, then kisses his cheek and takes her leave, leaving the doctor to his thoughts. Fredrick stares blankly after her until she's out of sight, then walks down a hall to Sophie's room.733Please respect copyright.PENANAF1Xrzw25te
