Carl smiled as he watched her eat, relieved that she would be well fed, and also out of pain. As she ate, he watched closely, then finally decided to scoot the chair closer to the couch and sit beside her where he would be close enough to help her. Just as he sat down, he noticed her pause in eating. Leaning forward, he wondered if she was feeling alright.<br/><br/>Her eyes rolled back and her hands went limp. Darting forward, he reached out to grab the soup just in time. A twinge of pain in his ribs made him gasp, but he managed to catch it on time. She went limp, deeply asleep and he set the bowl aside to tuck the blanket around her.<br/><br/>"There, now... all better, my love. Just rest."
