Let Us Look After You

Friday, March 31st. Encarna comes home from hospital in a taxi and wants to cook lunch within a minute, so Sarah and Julian lay down the law, and that night she can't sleep. Say don't you dare, doctor's orders, you scared us to death, let us look after you, you're not alone and we'll see about that, and give a stubborn patient a weekend of rules, the Spain way.

THE STORY

It's Friday, March 31st, noon. Julian has just brought Encarna home from hospital in a taxi, and the neighbours have hung a sign on her door that says "Welcome home, Encarna" in green paint. Sarah and Julian help her into her armchair in the patio. She has been in the chair for less than a minute when she looks at the kitchen. That night, at one in the morning, Sarah finds her awake in the patio, with Paco's photo. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
