And The Silver Spoon
I wouldve been part of his life if I knew, you say to her.
You blurted the words out without any control. Embarrassment kicks in when you see the nurses wide-eyed stare.
Her confusion melts after a moment, and she offers you a comforting smile.
Youre a good person, she says. She tells you that she has to make these kinds of calls all the time, and that the parent on the other line rarely shows.
Youre a good person. Youre a good person. Youre a good person.
You ARE a good person, right? You save the city for a living.
It doesnt feel that way. In fact, youre not sure if her words helped. You almost didnt show either, after all. At least, you heavily considered it.
You force a strained smile and she steps out of your way. You take your final, heaviest step through the threshold of Theodore Hardins room.
