Keith came to Hathaway House at his sisterтАЩs insistence. For he has already given up on regaining the future she keeps telling him that he can┬аfind here or, for that matter, any other future worth having. And, besides, donтАЩt they know heтАЩs too weak for the trip and for the treatment and for any of the plans the team has for him? DonтАЩt they know heтАЩs broken beyond repair, and nothing they can do will fix him?
But apparently they donтАЩt because no one listens to him. Not the doctors. Not his sister. And definitely not the tiny woman who keeps delivering his coffee at 5:00 a.m.
Ilse, head chef for Hathaway House,┬аrarely ventures out of the kitchen she manages. ItтАЩs easier to deal with the groceries and the staff than it is to see the pain and suffering of those she feeds. But something about Keith and his frailty calls to her. She canтАЩt help but go out of her way to ensure he has everything he needs. Even though she knows she cannot keep their relationship on a professional level, once started.
Even if not in her best interests to do so. Because, in this case, surely KeithтАЩs best interests matter, so much more than her own.
