Do you want to wait for Maddy?
She shook head.
What about Jerry?
She shook her head.
Will you wait for Veronica?
A barely perceptible nod.
Where is Veronica?
Veronica is here.
A tenuous smile plays on Ruth's lips.
She is caressed, a small child,
Being held securely, lovingly,
In the arms of her mother.
An understanding is silently reached.
It is time.
The ninety-nine year old baby
Closes her eyes.
