..."...Surprise, surprise for you...No lies...just eyes for you...Teach me all that you know...So that I will bask in your glow..."...

"I got a settlement from the accident."

"Really? How much?"

"2.7 Million."

"Holly fuck! That's a lot of money!"

"It sounds like a lot but considering I'm disabled and jobs will be limited to me, that money won't last me for the rest of my life."

"Well that's probably true but since you brought it up, your dad told me you were thinking about getting the surgery and if that's true, then you won't have to worry about jobs being limited."

"Dad told you about that?"

"Yeah, he told me about it, about a week ago. He wanted to get my thoughts on it. He told me what you said about wanting to be able to be a good man to your girl and all."

"What did you tell my dad?"

"I told him that it's your life and your decision and that it's my job and his job to just support you in your decision. Are you still thinking about getting the surgery?"

"Yeah but I kind of put it on the back burner because of this damn collarbone and to be honest, I'm a little worried about how Faith will react to me wanting the surgery. I told her how I felt about it when it was first offered to me and she completely understood where I was coming from. Not even for a split second, did she get that look in her eyes about wanting me to get the surgery. She is the most loving and selfless person I know. Seeing that, knowing that she knows that I could be, dare I say normal, doesn't stop her from loving me just the way I am. I guess I'm worried that she will end up trying to talk me out of the surgery because she knows that the last thing I want, is to be fucking crippled to the point that I can't even wipe my own ass but the truth is, I don't feel that way anymore."

"Just talk to her Landon. She might surprise you. I think Faith will support you no matter what."

"I'll talk to her about it but I want to wait until we go back to school."

"Why?"

"Because I'm getting the hell out of this chair in about a week and I just want to make the best out of the rest of our summer. There are so many things I want to do with her and show her and I don't want this black cloud to fuck it up."

"But isn't that black cloud floating over your head already?"

"Not really but maybe the pills I'm on are part of the reason for it. It doesn't matter. All that matters, is that I want to wait for a little longer. I just want to enjoy the rest of the summer with my girl."

"Does she know about your money?"

"Yeah, she went with me to sign the final paperwork. Dad was pissed about it but I wanted her to know about it. It's not like I can spend my life with this girl and keep that kind of money hidden."

"What does she think about all that money?"

"She doesn't want anything to do with it. She told me she would sign anything she had to sign, to prove that to me."

"Are you going to make her sign something?"

"I doubt it. It doesn't even matter though, it's not like were married or anything. Guess we can cross that bridge, when we need to."
