I buzzed Liz’s apartment. The phone went straight to answering machine.
That was odd. It had only been four hours since we’d arranged for me to pick her up for her appointment.
I dialed again. No answer.
In the last weeks she’d grown more exhausted by the day. The last few days she was too weak to even walk, so a neighbor lady in her building kindly lent her a wheelchair. The last few days, I was honored to bring her to multiple emergency appointments.
I checked my phone for a ‘sorry, I’m running late’ text. Maybe she couldn’t wait for me and went to the hospital with someone else.
No texts awaited.
