We decided we would spend Tuesday in town so I could see Gianna and go to band practice. The band had a gig on Friday night at a local bar.
Rev was moving around well but he still got short of breath easily, and then got sore, which made him angry.
He did sits ups, arm curls, and squats with weights, but when I caught him trying to do push ups, I screamed at him so badly, he actually jumped.
"That's directly using the muscle around the wound! Are you out of your mind?"
He looked sheepish. "Sorry, love".
We practiced shooting with a silencer on but I only let him throw knives or stars with his left arm. Since my outburst about him not dying for my sake, he had been more compliant.

Rev texted Andy through the computer wondering if Tuesday would work for us to visit the baby.
Andy replied back- My sister can visit anytime she likes.
Hot, angry tears popped into my eyes.
"Let me call him", I said.
Rev showed me how.
"What?", Andy answered.
"First of all, I'm not leaving him here alone all day after he's been shot. Second, he won't let me go anywhere by myself because his cover was blown big time and he's worried about that endangering me. Are you really going to make him sit in your driveway for hours?"
"You're endangered because he crossed a line with you he shouldn't have".
"No, Andrew. That wouldn't have mattered. He was here protecting me because you asked him to. His presence from that point on endangered me. Blame yourself".
"Believe me, sis, I do".
"Would you rather Jay not be arrested?"
"I'd rather him have not fucked up your life".
"He hasn't".
"You're delusional".
We sat in angry silence for a second then I heard Kendra's voice in the background.
"Here", Andy said, handing off the phone.
"Hi, honey", Kendra said. "We want you here. Really, we do. I don't want anyone fighting around the baby, though".
"I understand. I want to see her and I think Andy's being spiteful".
"Well, you know him", she said. "Look, just come. Both of you. I'll work on him. Make sure Rev behaves is all I can say".
"I'll do my best".
"Same, honey, same".
"Brad sent me a picture. He already met her?"
"Yeah. Andy called him and he asked if we needed anything. He brought us some food in the hospital and he brought me flowers. It was really sweet. He's a good man, Paige".
"I know", I said, tears springing into my eyes. "Do you guys want the jeep back now?"
"No, we don't need it. Love you", she said. "We'll see you tomorrow".
"Okay. Love you".
Rev was watching me with concern on his tough face.
"It will be okay", I assured him. "Kendra will work on Andy. He's being a dick as usual. I think it's silly for you to sit in the truck while I see Gianna, and fucking rude".
