Chapter 19

"Hey Ang, what's up?" Howie asked cheerfully. It had been a week and a half since the accident. Howie and Kevin had just arrived at the hospital and were visiting Angel first.

"Not much," she said. Then her face brightened suddenly. "Guess what!" she said.

"What?" they asked.

"Dr. Baker said I can go see Brian today!" she cried happily. Howie and Kevin smiled at each other.

"Great, Ang!" Kevin said. "He'll be really happy to see you. He would have come to visit you, but he has to stay in bed."

"That's okay," she said. "I'm going to his room to see him. Look at what I made for him," she said, opening the drawer of the night table beside the hospital bed. She reached inside, pulled something out, and handed it to Howie. It was a card. Howie smiled when he saw it and showed Kevin. Angel had made it herself. On the front she had drawn a picture of Brian lying in a bed with a sad face. On the inside it said, "Dear Brian, Get well soon! Love, Angel." There was a picture if Brian with a smile on his face. Kevin grinned when he saw she had even drawn Brian's Kentucky Wildcats hat.

"That's beautiful, Angel," he said, handing it back to her.

"Thanks!" she said, beaming. She pulled out a light blue envelope and put the card inside. She licked the envelope and sealed it closed. Then she took a pen and printed the letters "S.W.A.K." on the back. "Sealed with a kiss," she said, grinning. Then she kissed the back of the envelope and stuck it back into her night table. Kevin and Howie just exchanged amused glances.
