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)673Please respect copyright.PENANA6mU3TGMki7
Are we going to have another Jerry on our673Please respect copyright.PENANAN1t8ISMNDU

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. 673Please respect copyright.PENANAFIc70LPAVg

(with a sigh)673Please respect copyright.PENANAr0t53oOoWy
Yeah.673Please respect copyright.PENANAzCUpIgx29x
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. 673Please respect copyright.PENANATqzDqxvqbT

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. 673Please respect copyright.PENANAjop0YL5vFF

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. 673Please respect copyright.PENANAcqq8lphEwT

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.673Please respect copyright.PENANAtXBeHcBi29
