Marianne would be able to see Jared laying on the couch. He saw her and waved hi. He was so bored today. His mom wouldn't let him watch his tv shows, play video games, or play with toys. Being sick was no fun, especially when your mom wouldn't let you do anything. Danielle had moved slightly to let Marianne see Jared. She had known the Warrenders all her life. They were nice people but a little nosey as well. Marianne always liked to know everyone's business, it could get annoying at times. But her mother had taught her the proper way of handing that. You just gave someone like Marianne enough information to leave you alone. If that person pressed for more, then you were suddenly late for a meeting or just remembered an important phone call.<br/><br/>Danielle didn't think she'd have to use the phone call excuse today. Jared was a legitimately sick, the only day of the year he was allowed to miss school if he wasn't sick was for his birthday. His birthday wasn't for another three months.<br/><br/>"That's very kind of you."<br/><br/>Danielle said with a smile when Marianne offered to make her son some chicken broth. She looked over her shoulder at Jared.<br/><br/>"Jared? Would you like Miss Marianne to make you some?"<br/><br/>Jared nodded his head. He liked the chicken broth. It usually helped him feel better when he was sick.<br/><br/>"Yes, please. If you don't mind, Miss Marianne."
