Ellie"s eyes were bright as she heard this news, bordering a bit in Henry"s opinion on mischievous . "You do like me well enough to want me as a sister?"
Advertis.e.m.e.nt"I know our circ.u.mstances make that to be no longer possible, I am linked to you in a different way . However, I do have hope that when this is all over and we are separate . I hope that this task is done with to both of our satisfaction . With that feeling, that you can forgive me for my rash actions to keep me around as a valued friend . I would hate it after going through some much that you would feel our ties would be better severed . I would hate to meet you on the road as strangers . I"d like to smile and stop for a chat . "
"That would be too bad, I agree . I don"t think I would like that at all . " Ellie shook his hand vigorously . "I think I"d like to be friends . "
He took her hand in his and was surprised to find that even on the cusp of former illness her grasp was firm and even radiated some good heat . She was so warm it felt as if he had felt the breeze from a car heating up the vehicle . It made him feel delighted that she had come through her adversity with a nice robust health to return to fates willing .
As their hands moved away, Ellie spoke up, "I wanted to ask a bit about the arrangements regarding his scholarship and income .

Henry thought about it as he straightened his tie and the cuffs on the sleeves of his dress shirt . It would be much easier to withdraw their ties completely . To be untangled such that no problems would arise would be something that an intelligent person would do such to avoid future problems . That income he was giving was a nice sum of money to have as side account slowly increasing . In turn, Henry couldn"t help admitting to himself that Nolan was quite a bit of a brat to deal with and to be free of this burden would be nice . It would be essentially killing two birds with one well-aimed stone . But looking at Ellie"s earnest eyes he could not speak . He couldn"t do it like this . "I can"t do that . It is a thought to be had, but I"m not going to take that away . You"ve done more than enough by taking my hand and accepting my ring on your finger . Your marriage to me was the true reason why I came to the hospital that day . You agreed and what is done is done . "
"That"s very kind of you . " Her eyes looked at him with admiration, but her flush and sudden slack position made him look at her with concern . She had suddenly become tired?
"Oh, you should be getting some sleep . I didn"t know your energy was like this . " He said quickly in apology as he put his hand on her back reflexively . "Sometimes you seem so vivacious that I forget that you did just have surgery . This is solely my fault for not paying attention to your needs and your nurses . Do you want me to help you to get to the bed?"
