"Better, Dad." He had spoken to Dr Wright who assured him she was fine.

"Are you ready?"

"I booked my flight for the Red Eye on the 24th."

"So soon?"

"I stayed far too long already. There are people counting on me, too," and he smiled.

"I know, Dad, but I am jealous. They can spend much more time with you, and so far this vacation wasn't good."

"No, it wasn't, but at least I could spend it with you. I like Lt Blackwell. He is a fine young man," and he opened the double glass doors at the entrance for her.

"Thanks, Dad."
