Usually, Alicia knocked on my bathroom door before coming in but after I fell in the tub when I was fourteen, she always barged in, hoping to save me from another fall.
'Can I not check to see that you're fine? Besides, I can't see anything with this thick curtain of yours in the way. You need to hurry up, George is here.'
'Thanks, now leave, I'll be down in a minute.' I said.

Janice was back from the hospital already and she was knitting something on the veranda.
'Kassy, how are you doing?' She looked up at George and I.
'I'm fine. I came by to say hello and goodbye.' I chuckled.
'You don't have to say goodbye Kassy. You know that.' She stood up from her chair, 'and who is this fine man you came with?' She looked George over.
'Oh, this is George, a friend of mine. We're spending the day together today but I wanted to see you and Emily.'
'How are you George?'
'I'm fine. I learnt you were in the hospital, how are you doing now?' George asked.
