Lucy was sitting up in bed, looking pale but alert, watching some silly game show on TV. When she saw me, her face lit up.
“Irene! Oh my god, get in here!”
“Lucy!” I rushed to her side, careful not to jostle the bed. We hugged, and I felt her thin shoulders shake a little. When I pulled back, I saw her eyes were wet.
