ME
Why do you say that every time?
CHASE
So you know I mean it and don’t forget it.
Everything has been great with Chase since our conversation last week after lunch at Ivory and Preston’s. I’m trying to let him in more, but my health stuff is still a topic I don’t want to introduce into our brand-new relationship yet. Today, I’m anxious and the only one who can talk me through it is Miller.
ME
Hey.
MILLER
Hey.
ME
What are you doing?
MILLER
Watching your boy lift weights.
What’s up?
ME
In my head about my appointment.
MILLER
Do you want me to call?
ME
No! He’ll wonder if everything’s okay if you do that.
MILLER
He won’t know. I can leave.
ME
No, it’s okay. Just needed you to tell me it’s all going to be okay.
MILLER
Only a few more days and then you’ll be in the clear. Everything will be fine.
ME
I hope you’re right.
MILLER
I’m always right.
