Ain't nothin' but a normal room. Pretty one, too, if'n you don't think too hard on what's goin' on in there. Ennis' sleeping more now, at least -- the drugs help with that -- but he's still awake a lot (and damn grumpy about it, too. But he ain't no less grumpy about the sleep, neither).

But he's there, and at least that's something.

And Ennis smiles like he gets that, and he squeezes her hand again and shakes his head just a little.





"Thank you."

Beverly manages a faint, slightly wavery smile in return.

She doesn't know what else to say, but she sits there a while longer, holding his hand, until Ennis's eyes are closed and his breath evens and slows. She's not sure if he's really asleep or not, but she stands, laying the hand she holds back on the blanket. Another few moments there, leaning over to press a quick kiss to his cheek, and she's gone.
