Gale looks small and wounded and terrified, hands wrung together in his lap. "They said your heart stopped." "That so?" John says, and even those two words are difficult to get out. He's exhausted, feels worn to the bone. He wants Gale to leave and wants him to stay here and beg forgiveness, prostrate next to John's hospital bed. He's so happy Gale is here he could weep.
