Like all the other nights, he could not go home until he had seen her. He could have driven straight to his apartment, which was nearer his office, but he had to turn the other way around.
He drove in the traffic and then into the almost empty street to be with her. No matter how late he got out of work, he went straight to her to check on her. He knew that he would not get any sleep if he could not see her.
Although Roseann told him he should not stay overnight, sleeping on the chair or the couch, he would still have lingered for a few hours before returning to his empty apartment. He needed assurance that she was ok.
"Hi, David. You are late today." The nurse on duty greeted him. They were getting familiar with him since he was always around.
They even brought him coffee or a sandwich from time to time. But he could guess it could be Roseann who asked them to do so. Still, he appreciated their kindness and concern.
