A Visit

I was dozing in my favourite chair downstairs, dressed in decidedly comfortable clothes and unshaven...not looking my best when I heard her sweet voice call out upstairs. "Hello? Alex?" 

"Anaeha?" I shook my head to clear it and tried to rise...but couldn't...my legs...oh no, not now, please not now. "Anaeha, I'm downstairs...please..."

She rushed downstairs...as I feared and hoped for at the same time. "What's wrong Alex, are you okay?"

"Anaeha...now's not the best time." I know it sounded bad, but i didn't know what else to say. I was glad she was there, don't mistake that, but if I couldn't even get up to greet her...then it was better I didn't see her...right?

She looked at me and flashed me a smile. "It's getting worse, isn't it Alex? I'm sorry...but, you can't chase me away that easily. I am here for you Alex. Let me help."
