I knew Rubliana was worried.
She had considered canceling her yoga class, but I encouraged her to go.
I reminded her only two classes remained, then she could join us every Tuesday.
I would miss my time with Penny, but the classes started again a month later, so it would be back to us at that point.
My favorite part of the night was listening to Penny tell stories of Rubliana. There were so
many—some Ruby herself had undoubtedly forgotten.
They often contained humorous, embarrassing moments that made me chuckle.
I sat beside Penny, sliding the pizza box open with a smile.
"Voila!"
When I discovered, next to cheeseburgers, pizza was her favorite food, I started bringing it to her regularly.
It was fine with the home, and I made sure I had plenty for the staff on occasion. One day I brought enough pizza so any resident who wanted some could enjoy it.
I was a hero that day.
Today, however, it was only for Penny.
She took a slice yet made no move to eat it.
