Cyrus' POV

Around 3:30 pm, I walk to the hospital.

I get there at 3:55, and TJ is getting ready to leave.

"Hey," TJ says and smiles. "My mom is downstairs checking me out right now. She'll drive us to the Spoon, that's where we're going, right?"

"Yeah," I say.

"Let's head downstairs."

"Ok."

As we walk to the elevator, I want to grab his hand, but I don't want to make him uncomfortable.

Which is why it surprises me when he grabs my hand. I look at him and he looks back, he squeezes my hand and looks forward, smiling.

I smile to myself.


We walk into the Spoon and sit down at a table across from each other.

"Oh, I forgot Amber works here," TJ says as Amber comes over. "Well, I forgot a lot of things."

"TJ.."

"No, it's fine." He chuckles.

"Hey guys, Cyrus, I'm assuming baby taters?"

"You assumed right."

"TJ?"

"Do you have menus? Like everything else I forgot what you have here."

"Yeah," Amber says sadly. "I'll get you one. Cyrus, the baby taters will be out soon." She walks away and puts the order in and drops off a menu.

After a while, TJ speaks up.

"I guess I'll just share the baby taters with you. Is that okay?"

I smile. We used to share baby taters every time we came here.

"Yeah, of course, it is."
