For a moment she was content to lie in bed, but she kept expecting to see her breath puffing out in front of her, and after a moment she shut her eyes and rolled into a sitting position, exhaling slowly. It was ridiculous and paranoid to assume there was some kind of pattern behind all this, but that didn't change the fact that she'd been dropped unceremoniously into freezing water twice in the last three days, and it was getting old fast.
Compared to that memory, it was positively warm outside, and she lingered for a moment in the parking lot before she boarded. It would be good to get out in the sun again, and she'd made enough trips to Doyleton to accept the garish pink sweater and ill-fitting sneakers with little more than a dubious stare.
Her nurse herded her onto the bus nearest the door. Lingormr was nowhere in sight--that was annoying, she'd wanted to check on him first and foremost--but at least there were plenty of empty seats.
She paused beside a patient who looked about her age. It wasn't often she saw someone who was even shorter than she was.

"Is this seat taken?"
