Caged Eagles (2010)
““So how long are you going to pretend to be sick?”
“Sam!” I called out as I got off my bed and stood up.
“They’re letting me go today.”
“About time. I can’t believe they kept you in here for three days,” he said as he sat down on the edge of the bed.
“I didn’t even think you were that badly hurt.”
“Neither did I … at first,” I said, putting a hand on my still-taped side.
“Next time you’re in a fight, try to hit them more with your fists, and less with your face and side.”
“I’ll try to remember that.”
“Say, where’s your grandmother?” Sam asked, gesturing to where her bed used to be.
“They let her go yesterday.”
“So she’s better?” he asked.
“Still weak, but doing a lot better. She’s holding down food and drinking.”
I think Sam liked my grandmother, and she liked him.
Whenever he’d dropped in to visit, they’d talk and she’d make a big fuss over him. He didn’t have grandparents, so I think he found it different and maybe even a little embarrassing at first, but then he just liked it.
