He must've only grabbed a few hours of restless sleep. Sometin the dead of night, his phone buzzed,
snapping him wide awake. He rubbed his eyes and squinted at the screen. Nathalie's profile picture glowed, and
a message popped up: "Not good."
Morris's stomach dropped. "What's wrong?"
He watched the little typing dots blink on and off, but nothing else cthrough. It was strange-Nathalie was
always so open, never one to beat around the bush. When did she becso hesitant, so distant? When did
things between them get so awkward?
Trying to break through, Morris typed, "I heard you went to see Almos for hypnosis?"
"Yeah."
"How did it go?"
"Not good." Just thinking about that session made Nathalie shudder. Waking up from it felt like waking from a
nightmare-one where the person she loved most would soon be gone.
"What happened?" Morris asked quietly.
Again, the typing bubble flickered, but nothing arrived. The silence made his heart sink even further.
They used to talk about everything. Now, conversation felt like walking on eggshells. Morris couldn't help but

"Where are you?" he asked, treading carefully.

"What are you doing so far from home?"
More silence.
Morris's chest tightened. "Nathalie, you've changed. You barely talk toanymore."
Even from thousands of miles away, Nathalie could almost feel the hurt in his words. She wanted to comfort him,

someone else. All she could manage was a clumsy reassurance: "Nathan, | don't mean to..." He felt a sharp pain
in his chest. "Please, Nathalie. Just tellwhat's going on." Something in his voice broke through her defenses.
All the grief she'd bottled up cspilling out. "Nathan, | miss you so much."
Morris's heart skipped a beat.
"Nathalie, letcget you. Chwith me, okay?"
"| can't. I'm not done here yet."
She'd gone overseas searching for a doctor who might be able to help Morris-a specialist in rare aging disorders.
After a long, exhausting journey, she finally found him. But the doctor had already retired health reasons and
had no plans to return to medicine.

She'd spent two weeks pleading-offering money, trying everything she could think of-but he was unmoved. His
answer was blunt:
"I've worked hard my whole life and I'm comfortable now. Money isn't an issue-I just want to enjoy the thave
left. The case you brought is complicated, and can't guarantee could help. Treatment would take years. I'm not
willing to spend my last days tied down. I'm sorry, but | can't take this on."

After another crushing rejection, Nathalie was at her lowest when Morris reached out.
"What happened?" he asked.
She couldn't answer.
"Nathan, please don't ask."
He bit back his curiosity. He had no
choice-the pain in hig chestwas
