Lucy watched silently, not wanting to interrupt but also because she was just taking it all in. She'd seen people dying before, of course, but never from being sick, never from something she couldn't cure atleast.
"It wasn't a waste," she finally said quietly, moving over towards the two of them. "And of course she is. Though I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you kept her waiting a little longer," she gave Mimi a little watery smile at that, reaching down to take one of her hands in hers.
Mimi squeezed Lucy's hand and smiled at her. She turned to Tom and took his hand too. "I like her, chico. Hold on to her. Angel likes her too. I can tell."
Tom smiled sadly and nodded. "I know. Angel told me." He sniffed and brushed Mimi's hair back with his free hand. "How are you feeling, really?"
Mimi looked off to the side. "I don't have much longer Tom. They've already asked me to sign a DNR. They don't expect me to last a week."
Lucy smiled back at Mimi. She wished they had met under different circumstances, she could tell that they might've been friends, she certainly liked her.
"Is- is there anything we can do to, well," she didn't want to say 'make this easier' but, well... "Is there anything we can do for you while we're here?"
Mimi smiled up at Lucy and shook her head. "The fact that you're here is enough." She turned to Tom and laughed sardonically. "Isn't it ironic? I finally kick the drug habit, and here I am, on so many drugs I couldn't name them all."
Tom smiled but didn't laugh or speak, just squeezed her hand.
Mimi turned back to Lucy. "You seem like a caring chica, would you do me a favor?"
