Chapter 65: Piper

Returning to Moby's room, it's after eight o'clock and he's nowhere around. A nurse informs me he moved to another room down the hall. Pointing me in the direction, I find him propped up in bed, eating what the hospital might describe as breakfast, watching television.

"Hey, babe," he calls out in much better spirits than I've seen him in the last couple of days.

"Hey! They gave you food. That's great."

"I don't know if you can call soup for breakfast food, but it's not coming through an IV so I'll take what I can get." I look at the liquid cautiously. "They're still afraid I'm going to choke, so we're starting with liquids. I was told there's noodles in here too but someone lied."

"Did you sleep well?" I inquire, hoping he had a better night than I did.
