Your bright laugh. The way you tell me off, but still sound like you’re rooting for me. The fact that my hospital room feels less like a prison cell when you’re in it. How your voice can cut through the worst days and make them feel survivable…
And maybe I’ll miss the way you hover when you think I don’t notice or how you always manage to leave a piece of warmth behind even after you walk out
Ivy
You’re supposed to be recovering, not making me melt through my phone
Teddy
Pretty sure this counts as therapy
Ivy
Oh Teddy, you still have to see Dr. Philip
Teddy
At least I tried. Like the old Teddy would say, you snooze, you lose
Ivy
Why am I not surprised?
Teddy
What can I say? Some classics never die
Ivy
I was thinking…what’s the real story behind your jersey number 11?
Teddy
I thought you’d know as a superfan
Ivy
I’m pretty sure the standard “I picked it randomly” answer is a lie
Teddy
You know me too well
Ivy
… Still waiting
Teddy
Promise you won’t laugh?
Ivy
I’ll try to behave
Teddy
I was fourteen and got a chance to change my number. My old one was random. So my teen brain decided 11 was perfect…
