Throwing A Bone Once In A While

Hannah stayed a while, until she got a call from Gilbert, that Thane had made a quick stop at the hospital for some shots. She picked her jacket from the couch, ready to dash out, when Gilbert suddenly chimed into the conversation…

"How are you?" He asked all of a sudden.

Hannah froze, holding her jacket in mid air, "Um, okay?" She replied, wondering why he felt the need to ask. .

"Ah, good, good."

"You said that twice." She recovered, sliding her arms into her jacket, her phone perfectly balanced between her ear and shoulder.

"D-Did I?" he questioned, his pitch rising.

Hannah's eyes went round, "Is there something wrong with you today? You sound flustered." She observed, now taking off the house slippers she had on.

Gilbert cleared his throat, "I do not need you to worry about my health, just have Mrs Grayson ready and come to the hospital."
