"Did they find a heart donor?" Ernest inquired.
There was a brief pause on Fanny's end before she quipped, "What's Mr. Collins still doing over at my place this late, huh?" She was clearly teasing Ernest, but now wasn't the tfor jokes.

Handing it over, he said, “I made porridge. How about we take it to the hospital for breakfast with Susie?" I smiled, saying, "I guessed as much. Of course, we can." Ernest playfully fixed my messy hair, "Mrs. Collins, we're getting more in tune by the day." "Ernest, I believe Susie will be fine. Yates wouldn't proceed if he wasn't confident," I reassured him.
Nodding, Ernest caressed my face, "Finish up and get ready. I'll pack the breakfast." As I stood by the window after getting up, my gaze fell upon several cigarette butts scattered on the ground below - leftovers from Conrad's visit last night.
