After she finished reading a chapter and laid down her book, and took a moment to look around when she noticed an oversized brunette in a wheelchair rolled into the cafeteria. Daniella was almost unrecognizable to her in this setting. Jilleen was not used to seeing the soon expecting pilot in her new civilian clothes and confined to a wheelchair.

She had never got a reply to that letter she sent when Daniella arrived and had not talked to the woman since her last day on Avalon. Those that arranged for Daniella’s stay might not have encouraged any contact with her or Daniella could simply still be upset with her.

Jilleen got up from her chair anyway. She would greet her none the less. If anything she could inquire about her stay and to see how she was doing.

She walked up behind Daniella before she got to the start of the meal line. “Daniella, hello. How are you?” asked Jilleen with a pleasant smile.
