My heart is hot

One woman’s courage and an impossible friendship

29 hours on a train. Finally a call.

Cheryl: Are you hungry?

Anna: Actually, I am a little.

Cheryl: Where are you?

Anna: I don’t know. I can’t talk long. How are you my angel? Is Rory better with his cold?

Cheryl: (dismissing) Yes, Anna. (It’s hard to be conversational) He made Viki a video – reading a book to her. We know this must be very hard for her. Sorry it is in English.

Anna: I can’t show Viki now. I have to protect my battery. I tell her it’s an adventure. I have to go now. Kisses my angel.
