“I didn’t want to hurt you, Hazel.” Amazing. “So when you’re waiting for me outside of MCC or Support Group or whatever, you’re always—”
“Yes, working or reading.”
“This is so great. If I’m dead, I want you to know I will be sighing at you from heaven every time you ask someone to share their feelings.”
My dad laughed. “I’ll be right there with ya, kiddo,” he assured me. Finally, we watched ANTM.
Dad tried really hard not to die of boredom, and he kept messing up which girl was which, saying, “We like her?”
“No, no. We revile Anastasia. We like Antonia, the other blonde,” Mom explained.
“They’re all tall and horrible,” Dad responded. “Forgive me for failing to tell the difference.”
Dad reached across me for Mom’s hand. “Do you think you guys will stay together if I die?” I asked.
“Hazel, what? Sweetie.” She fumbled for the remote control and paused the TV again. “What’s wrong?”
“Just, do you think you would?” “Yes, of course. Of course,” Dad said.
“Your mom and I love each other, and if we lose you, we’ll go through it together.”
