Quinn would probably want something from the two of us specifically.

“Okay, fine.” Was I always going to agree with what he wanted?

“I’m not carrying that thing,” I told Quinn as the florist put together the get well gift, a teddy bear in pink-striped pajamas and with a splinted leg. I guessed they didn’t have one with a bandage.

“Fine, Mark.” Quinn had chosen the teddy bear instead of a floral arrangement.

I took a credit card from my wallet and handed it to the young woman who stood behind the counter. She rang up the sale, and while I signed the receipt, Quinn thanked the florist.
