She went two blocks and then headed back to where it was sunny. He walked past the Rest of Your Life Convalescent Home. Margaret, at the front desk, looked out and watched Doc go by and thought it strange Doc would take a walk alone. But he wasn’t alone. Not here. It’s one of the blessings of living in a place like this.
