George motioned to the master bedroom. “I moved my stuff out and I’ve taken the smaller one in the back.” He stood in the hallway as Louise walked into the room. “I wasn’t expecting to stay in here,” she responded, pulling her suitcase behind her. “I would be fine in the guest room. That’s where I’m used to staying.” Louise had been a frequent guest in her best friend’s home over the years Roxie and George had lived there. “No, this is best for you. You’ll have your own bathroom and plenty of privacy.” George appeared uncomfortable. He shifted his weight from side to side, still standing at the door. “Roxie would want you to be in here,” he added. Louise turned to George. She could see how much his health had deteriorated since he had driven to North Carolina on that late winter day to propose. She guessed that he had probably lost forty or fifty pounds since his diagnosis of lung cancer.
