I know there are people looking for a cure for this... illness, but in the meantime, are there any treatments? I have friends that are ill and I hate seeing them suffer.
Anyone?
...please?
[Moving as softly as she can, Mara opens the door, balancing the soup and tea on the tray as she backs into the room. Also on the tray are a number of things that she picked up on her way home from work, things to rub on his chest to help him breathe, candies to suck on, pills to help with his fever, anything she could think of that would ease his suffering.
And hers. She hates seeing him like this, but she hates even more the selfish fear in her heart that if things get worse she'll be taking him to the hospital. And if she hast to do that, she has to face the fact that this is much, much more serious than she wants it to be. She's never wanted to be high more in her life than she does right now.]
