Chapter 36: Must be the Painkillers
"Alex!"
"You're awfully happy."
"I was shot today, Alex."
"I know."
"Who told you?"
"You just did."
"That's not funny. Who told you before I did?"
"Elliot."
"You're awfully pretty, Alex."
"You're not too bad yourself, Liv."
"Can I kiss you?"
"Not right now."
"Please? I promise not to tell anyone."
"How do your wounds feel?"
"Fine. Now can I kiss you?"
"You'll be able to go home tomorrow afternoon if everything goes well tonight."
"I want to go home now. I hate hospitals."
"I know, Liv."
"And you still won't let me kiss you."
"I'll hold your hand. How's that?"
"Not good enough."
"You sound tired. Try getting some sleep."
"Must be the painkillers. Will you stay?"
"Always."
