Dallon was playing his guitar when I asked him, "Dad, when can we go to get this off?", motioning my hand.

"What's the date, today?" He asks and I tell him. "Damn it! We were supposed to go there 2 days ago."

"Dad, you are getting old." I say, sarcastically.

"Real funny." He sticks his tongue out.

"Where's Breezy?" I ask.

"Work."

"Can I ask you something?" He says.

"Hey, if it is related to that area, then I am no help." I say and he playfully punches my arm.

"Seriously Phe!" He exclaims. "You need to stop hanging out with Brendon."

"Yeah he is the one to be blamed." I laugh.

"Shut up!" Dallon laughs. "I was thinking of--"

"Oh my God! Dad are you serious." I say.

"Never been, until now."

"Dad I am dead serious now!" I say. "You moved in together just a month and half ago."

"I don't know, maybe." He says. "You know, you are right. I'll wait."

"Thank you." I murmur.

I stand my point. They might be moving a little too fast.

Breezy as my mom?
Maybe?

The receptionist looks at us with a annoyed look plastered on her face. "Weren't you supposed to come here day before yesterday?"

"Yeah, sorry." Dallon smiles, awkwardly.

"Wait here, Dr. Adams will be here." The woman says, in a monotonous voice.

Dr. Adams was the same doctor who had revived me from that accident. But not Ryder.
Goddammit Phoenix! Get over it!

"I am thinking of buying you a new camera." Dallon speaks up, all of a sudden.

"Why? I am happy with what I have now." I reply.

"No, it'll be cool." He says.

"No, Dad. I don't want you to be spending more money on me. The camera that I have right now is the best in the market." I smile.

"I accept my defeat." He raises his hands.

"Come here." I say and he moves his face towards me. I kiss his cheek. "I love you, Dad."

"I love you too, Phe." He smiles.

"Phoenix Weekes?" The annoying receptionist calls out.

Dallon pushes me into the doctor's room. "Aren't you my favorite patient." Dr. Adams greets me.

"Even you are my favorite doctor." I say, keeping my sarcastic tone down.

"Let's see what do we have here." He looks at my wrist. "This is healed."

"Really?"
