The house manager of the Broadway show we’re attending has taken a shine to us, and after the show ends finds us to say goodbye.
We joke about the wood-fire pizza places in Brooklyn Katie recommended, and then he gives us each a hug before we leave.
Seeing the cane I’ve been walking with, after hugging me he fixes me with an intense look, and grabbing my shoulder with his bony hand, says, “Be whole and healed, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
I take a beat to process this, then, with a smile, say, “Hey, I’ll take whatever help I can get!"
