You'd all be happier if ya just told each other ya care now and again." She shrugged and leaned against his shoulder a little and rest her head on his shoulder. "I'm alright. Doing a little better each day, just wish I was all better."

"Really?" She looked at him in surprise. "I don't know this woman but.. I'll be honest. The little bit I seen of your brother he hasn't seemed like.. the type ta want marriage. He's so ..." She shrugged, she couldn't explain herself.
