"Yes, thank you sir...... you are a true gentleman. I won't take much of your time. Just take me to my apartment. Here is what I have at the moment......" Rose handed the money to the man, oblivious of who he was. She scooted to the edge of the chair then slowly stood up. As she stood up her face went totally white and she was shakey.<br/><br/>"Just a minute if you please....." Rose whispered softly as she did her best to get her balance.<br/><br/>"He'll wait, miss. Don't worry." Dan spoke in a calm voice. "Just think of your kitten who needs you. You want to go home and feed him. Spooky is relying on you getting home and taking care of yourself."<br/><br/>Rose listened and nodded. Her body was burning up with a fever to the extent of where her skin was hot to the touch. She slowly picked up her purse and nodded to Dan.<br/>"Thank you for all of your kindness. I am sure that you will be greatly blessed.<br/>Let's get going before I collapse. I only hope not to see Mrs Smith when we get there....." Rose told the man who was going to take her home. Her eyes were barely open and she could barely lift her head.
