In the Dark Page #4

Yeah, a friend came by

the other day

and it was--

I don't know, like,

like he was jealous.

A male friend?

Mm-mm.

Actually, a female friend

who's just

moved in across the street

in the neighbourhood.

She has a crush on him

and it makes him

I guess,

uncomfortable.

And he's just-- I don't think

it has anything to do with that

and I'm sure

it's nothing,

but it just was--

you know.

He can be an intense

young man.

Yeah, you think?

Jeff, look who's here!

Hi, Doc.

Hey, Jeff.

How are you?

Good, I'm good.

How are you?

I'm well, thank you.

So, what brings you by?

Oh, I came by to see

my patient and you.

Oh?

To tell the truth,

I have to be going,

but I was stalling

hoping to see you.

Well, here I am.

I was telling Lisa how

good you've been to me.

Really helpful.

No, honestly, Jeff,

she just told me

you were a natural

caregiver.

You should really consider

a career in rehab.

We should talk about it.

I mean, Ali's not going to

need you forever.

Yeah, the good doctor has just

dropped by an application

to begin the process

to get a guide dog.

Really? You never mentioned

a dog before.

No, I really never

thought about it

but now that I do,

I think it's a great idea.

It's just--

it's just not as simple

as all that.

I know, but I think

it's a great idea

You're always worrying about me.

A dog could protect me.

Thank you for coming by.

Mm, it was my pleasure.

And like I said,

you and Jeff fill out

those forms

and then he can

drop it off at my office

and when you do,

we should talk about

your new calling.

Helping the blind.

Yes, of course.

What are you hiding from

the blind lady?

Play your little game,

but you're going to have to

tell me after breakfast.

Alright.

Promise?

Promise.

Loosen it up.

Then you have to figure out

what you want to make.

I dunno.

Uh, how about a rock?

You have to make something

a little more complicated.

How about...

a dragon?

If you say so.

What about you?

First to make

the body.

Oh my gosh,

it's something.

It's so painful, you just have

to laugh through your tears.

Jeffrey, look who

stopped by!

Hey, Jeffrey!

Nice dragon, by the way.

And your mask

is so good.

You really are talented.

Ha ha.

No, seriously!

Don't-- you don't give

yourself enough credit.

Um, look, I need to

get going.

I have some work

I gotta finish.

Thanks for--

No, I'll walk you out.

It's just so good to get

all that out, you know?

I'm glad you

came by.

Yeah, it was--

I'm a very good

therapist.

I can't figure out my own life

but I can help you with yours.

Thank you!

I'll see you soon.

Okay.

Bye, Jeffrey!

See you later.

Bye.

What was that about?
