her laughter sounded wheezy, all things considered but a grin no matter how distressed was better than a full on breakdown. rubbing his thumb mindlessly along her knuckles he let out a breathy half-laugh. âthat was a really good, subtle way to ask i canât believe it was ruined like that. promise i didnât tell the kids that youâre just a giant lesbian that just the casual mention of getting any action get the better of you, though they are worried.â he gave her hand a squeeze before moving to pick up the cup of jello sitting on her bedside. âi absolutely had to come to maintain my throne of best ex-husband in the universe, no, but of course i was worried you idiot.â peeling back the foil covering and folding it into a makeshift spoon, he bit into orange jello only to taste disappointment. âthis hospital is torturing you, but no. iâve asked around but none of my usual connects have heard from her. i donât know, neither.. a little bit of both. when was the last time youâd even heard from her?â
âit was great, totally discrete. i honestly barely picked up on it myself, youâre truly a master with wordplay peter.â she teased. âiâve known you forever and you just never cease to amaze me. its honestly not fair your moment got ruined like that.â she said with another laugh. âis it not obvious that iâm a giant lesbian? iâm glad iâm hiding it well enough from them then.â she sighed at his next words, resting her head back onto her pillow. âtell them not to worry about me. iâll be okay and even if thatâs not true, still tell them that.â she said. âthey have bigger things to worry about than mom, right now.â she gave his hand another small squeeze. âas much as i hate to admit you, you probably are the best ex-husband in the universe, not a lot of the guys would have stuck around the way you have.â she eyed the orange jello as he bit into it, her eyes going wide. âpeter---they mix my pain meds in with that.â she said, too late after heâd already taken a bite. âbut yes, it tastes like shit. before they add anything, i asked for lime but aparently they donât carry it here. who knew i had to go to the other location to get the jello i want. a few days before the attack happened, we were going to go out for lunch on the 15th but iâm guessing weâll have to postpone that now.âÂ
