Nurse, how long was I out?

Three days, and we're very glad to have you back.

Did I say anything?

No, but a couple of times you looked like you were struggling very hard against something.

Nurse, one more thing before you go. There's a book here with a note: “Could you make it out to us?” I don't remember writing this book.

Your latest, your friends said. They stopped by and left it for you to autograph when you came to.

Friends?
