The sound of paper shifting conquered the quiet room. Claude sat on his reclining hospital bed, reviewing the cards he had received from those who had asked Tommy to send them. The Nettle Bay Medical Center was closer to Widow's Moor than Lunavida City. Most students weren't dedicated enough to travel. Moreover, they were probably too embarrassed or awkward around the two school celebrities.
That Sunday, Eugene and the ones allowed to leave took the bus to the hospital. The best friend only left a post about how Claude might not play for a while because he was involved in an accident. To avoid stories from proliferating, Eugene had to get ahead of it.
The students just wanted to show support and well wishes. They asked Tommy to bring their cards to their nightly serenader. It intensified when they also discovered that Len was driving at the time.
