The nurse quickly changes the channel. The HAPPY DAYS THEME SONG replaces the droll voice of the anchor. Athol glares at the TV, fuming.

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. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAsBviKgCjxk

(with a sigh)478Please respect copyright.PENANAWOT5nuPXUV
Yeah.478Please respect copyright.PENANAJ81iThnrKz
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. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAs1imGOlLMY

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. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAWmTQntvyAn

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. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Azjw0rm0

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.478Please respect copyright.PENANAUhIMnijfhB
