"I know, Dolores," Grover said, and he was sorry to see his daughter wasn't happy here. He just had to keep reminding himself that this was temporary, just as often as he had to remind Carmela and Dolly. "But it won't be forever -- I promise."
Still, he was glad to hear she intended to keep working at it, which meant a speedy recovery, right?
"Good girl," he replied with an affectionate smile. "I know you can do it."
Learning that she was still being fed all right was enough to alleviate Carmela's fears to a degree. It looked like Dolly had lost a little weight, but maybe she was just imagining it. Not being able to see her daughter made her fret even more than she would have under normal circumstances. "Well, that's something, at least." Tenderly, she brushed some of her daughter's bangs to the side. "Oh, I wish this place weren't so terrible for you." If she could whisk her daughter away from here and take her home, she would have done it in an instant.
Even if the food in Landel's was good, nothing could beat something lovingly prepared by a mother, and she pulled her purse out. "I brought more cookies," she said softly as she fished for the baggy of treats. "But please share them with your friends." She said she'd made even more since the last time they'd seen her, right? "It won't do any good if you spoil your appetite." She was sure Dolly knew that, but it was worth saying just the same.
