CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
When daybreak came, Boyce didn't hesitate waking and getting out of his bed. He made his painful way to the window and looked out onto the majesty of Gothal. Below him many nuns were already awake and working on the vegetable gardens, and fruit groves. Over to one side was the flower and tree garden and there was a group of nuns maintaining its beauty through their trimmings and cultivating.
Lilith walked into the room and Boyce slowly turned around to greet her.
Zoro only looked at her when she came in. He was very quiet and squawked only once when he sensed someone at the door, but otherwise, he didn't make a ruckus.
She wheeled a small cart into the room, laden with a variety of foods for Boyce to dine on.
"Will you eat with me?" he invited her in.
"Yes, thank-you!"
They spent a long time eating breakfast then, when they were finished,
Lilith had Boyce get
back on the bed and she looked him over once more to make certain that nothing was at fault with him.
"I'm just a little sore now, that's all. I can walk!" he informed her.
