Yes bobby and maria grew fond of each other. Even though they both made the decision to never get married to anyone and bobby was more into his hobbies than relationships they both had a longing for a deep connection with another human being. The type of relationship where you can go to someone with you problems or you just enjoy being around that person.
They enjoyed many nights by the fireplace in the money hotels lobby talking about the latest book they each were reading, and politics. What wonderful days those were.
Bobby after several months was finally able to walk again so maria did not need to take care of him anymore. So life returned to the way it was before bobby broke his leg. Oh sure he and maria would exchange a warm smile now and then as they walked past each other but, the warmth was gone.
Maria often thought about going to bobby's room and saying hi. But she never had a conversation longer than a few words with bobby again until just before he died. Bobby also thought about striking up a conversation with maria but, he thought she probably did not miss him and would not want to talk to him anyway so he never attempted to talk to maria. Life went on that way between bobby and maria for the next twenty years until bobby was on his death bed.
More tomorrow. Silly done, goodnight.
