"How are you feeling now?" I asked, a small smile tugging at my lips. She eyed the french fries that was placed in front of her, with a look of suspicion and disgust.

"Better." was her answer. It always was but I could never see any progress. She popped a fry into her mouth chewing slowly and forcefully.

"Can I come over today? I could make some snacks for you." I said smiling at the thought. She smiled but it was gone as fast as it came.

"I'm sorry but... my mother is home today. I don't want you to- you know... run into her."
