“After all that, you just want to kick back and watch more TV?” Kara joked.
“What can I say, I’m easy to please.” Julia shrugged, pulling the tab to recline the chair. “Honestly though, I just want to rest for a minute... That was more of a workout than I expected...”
“I’m not surprised. Most guys need to take a nap after blowing their load.” Henry grinned. “And I’m guessing you just did that twice?”
Julia didn’t respond out of spite. Instead, she slouched further into the chair and closed her eyes.

“But so are neighbors... Maybe even friends and family. For miles, people are changing... Just like us.”
“Don’t make it sound so bad.” Kara frowned. “Good things happened too. People were cured.”
“Speaking of neighbors... I wonder how Frank’s doing.”

“Wanna go check on him?” He asked. “Might be nice to get some fresh air anyway.”
“Sure... I imagine he’d appreciate the company...” Kara agreed. “I got the impression that he didn't have many visitors. Julia, would you like to come with us?”
“Nah...” She groaned. “I’m sure he’s fine...”
“Guess it’s just us...” Henry said, holding open the front door. “Lead the way Kara...”
