It's been a week, and I still haven't told him what she said. I just don't know if I can, it'll only make him feel worse...he feels bad enough already.

...I met Ivan's family last week.

[pause]

...including his mother.

Ah, so you finally did?

How did it go?

Wonderful, at first...his father and younger siblings are all very nice.

[long pause is long]

...but...the reason he never talked about his mother...she's ill, Garion, ever since an accident three years ago she's stopped functioning...she used to be so happy and full of life, Garion, and when she retreated in on herself people started talking.
