Winter Passing Page #2

Returning to Michigan, Reese finds that an ex-grad student and a would-be musician have moved in with her father, who cares more about his new friends than he does about his own health and well-being.

I'm just glad we never had kids!

Are you okay?

Yeah! Why?

I don't know!

You just seem so far away!

You've hardly touched your salad!

I think I'm just a little run-down!

The show closing,

what's next and all that!

You can tell me stuff, you know!

I'd hate to have our little

mutual admiration society disband!

Just because the play is closing!

What about your family?

Will you see them for the holidays?

- No!

- Where are your parents anyway?

I've never heard you talk about them!

- Not much to talk about!

- It's like that, huh?

If you'd like to spend Thanksgiving with me,

you're more than welcome!

I'm having some friends over for dinner!

We're doin' a turkey and pumpkin pie

and homemade stuffing!

And I got my grandma's

stuffing recipe with apples!

- Thanks, Didi!

- What happened to your hand?

Oh, I banged it while I was feeding Spike!

It's just a bruise!

How is Spike anyway?

Is she still keeping you up at night?

She's good!

It's so sweet-you saving that kitten!

I couldn't do it, not in this city!

What?

Hmm! There's no pay phone!

- You can use my cell!

- Are you sure?

Of course!

- Here!

- Thanks, Didi!

No problem!

Hey!

Hey, kiddo!

Mmm!

Hmm!

That was nice.

Thanks.

I didn't know you could play!

- Where are you going?

- I have to feed my cat!

- Where are you going?

- I have to feed my cat!

- Stay!

- I can't!

Feed her in the morning.

- She's sick!

- Reese.

What are you so afraid of?

I don't know!

Hi, Reese.

This is Dr. Barrett from St. Mark's Veterinary.

I'm sorry to have to tell you

that Spike's test results...

yielded positive for feline leukemia.

- Please give me a call

at your earliest convenience...

So that we can discuss her options.

- So, I got your message!

- Hey, Reese. Can I get a beer here?

I'll need money to get home!

- We'll be glad to arrange a flight for you!

- Oh, I don't fly!

Okay!

And I'll, uh, need cash!

Uh, I don't know if I'm gonna

be able to arrange cash, Reese!

I'd have to talk to my boss, put through a

check request. It could take a couple of weeks.

- Then f*** it!

- Well, wait a minute!

There's two!

You got all three!

- Will you be renting a car?

- I'll take the bus!

And I'll need money for cigarettes.

And food.

A girl's gotta eat, right?

Take it easy.

Well, that's that!

Can you tell me when you plan

on heading to Michigan?

I'll leave in a few days.

- So, uh, how can I get in touch with you?

- You won't! I'll call you!

I'll look forward to it!

- Okay!

- Thanks for the drink.

Good luck, Reese.

- Dd

- What happened?

Smoking break!

Are you all right?

Oh, I'm fine!

Do you know where we are?

We just passed Traverse City!

- Hi!
