"Mom?"
"Hey sweetie! How are you and Alan doing?"
"We're doing great but that's not what I wanted to talk about."
"Oh. What is it sweetie?"
"It's about Alan. His-" Ellis paused to take a few deep breaths.
"What about him?"
"His heart isn't doing well. At all, really. It's gotten to the point where he needs a-a heart transplant."
"Oh dear. How are you two holding up?"
"We're alright, I guess. It hurts us both but we'll get through it. Everything will go well."
"How high up is he on the list?"
"Not very high."
"I could try to get him higher on the list. You know we have the money and- and Alan is like a son to us."
"Thank you so much mom. Just- thank you."
"I love you both so much. Stay safe, honey."
"We will, mom. We love you too. Bye"
"Bye."
The call ended and Ellis could no longer keep in the sob that had been stuck in his throat.
