“You owe me some boxes of tissues and numerous tubs of ice-cream.” She nudged Blaine, producing a genuine smile for once. “I’m supposed to go into mourning now, aren’t I? Now that my ex is marrying someone else…”
“Ice cream, I can do, but the tissues? No. You and I both know that almost nothing makes you cry.” He reached for his metal frame and gave a groan as he stood. “Though I guess given the month I’ve had, I should be mighty glad you’re not the type of woman to seek revenge over this. God knows, I’ve fielded enough revenge.”
He took a few lumbering steps and gave her a grin from over his shoulder. “Are you coming? It’s almost time for Oprah reruns.”
She spat out a crackling laugh and shook her head before standing. “Is this what hospital life has reduced you to?”
“Jealous?”
“Hell, no.” She laid her hand between his shoulder blades and helped him walk, mostly just delighting that for the first time in this whole ordeal, they had a chance to find a new place with each other. A place where they could move on. Be genuine friends again. That she really could organize his engagement party and not feel weird about it.
“Oh and, Sarah—” He led her into the corridor before pausing, his grin still in place, though significantly wider. “Say hi to the new man for me.”
