Over the next few days, neither of them mention what happened that night Ken returned drunk. They don't have to, and Hazel hopes they won't. She honestly thinks Kenji might have forgotten, but he doesn't say anything about it. The days roll around that they can finally be free from their bandages and casts, and all of the wrapping that would aid in their healing. Ken's beyond elated, and he offers to drive. Hazel's a bit more exhausted, more so mentally than physically, but it's enough for her to agree without much fight.

Ken's humming as he drives them to the hospital, and that's about the only sound that can puncture the silence that surrounds them. The right side of Hazel's face is pressed against her window, and she's about to doze off, but then Ken's phone goes off. She glances at him, holds it up for him. It's one of his teammates.

"You can pick it up," he says.

She picks it up, puts it on speaker.

"That night was amazing, Ken—" someone's saying, really loud. Hazel thinks he might just be speaking right into the speaker.

"I know, dude." Kenji laughs.

"Didn't know you had a wife, though!" the guy on the other side is saying, and laughing. Ken tenses, looks at the phone with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't have a wife?" his tone is questioning. His lips are parted in confusion as he stares at the road ahead.

Hazel's eyes are plastered on him, and she mouths the word 'what?'
