[She smiles and nods.] T'is. Been in remission since I was seventeen. Just odd t'feel it, y'know?

I do know. [He doesn't say how, but he offers the girl an understanding smile.] It's an anniversary you won't soon forget, I'm sure.

I decided on Eggplant Napolean and Ben and Jerry's to celebrate. Mum and Da wanted to come, but they wished me a fine day over the telephone. [She really can't stop smiling.] So long as there be no more chemotherapy, I'm happy.
