474 Outside Aaron's Room

As Tom and Lucy strolled down the hospital hallway in silence, Lucy turned to Tom when she remembered something Jamal had said earlier, "By the way, did you really offer Jamal a car in exchange for him to leave me alone?" Lucy asked curiously, and Tom chuckled.

"That wasn't what happened. He asked me for a car, and I agreed to give him one. But he became greedy and also wanted you too. What did you expect me to say?" Tom asked, and Lucy giggled.

"So it had to be me or the car. Which did he choose?" Lucy asked, and Tom grinned.

"Which do you think he chose?"

"Me?" Lucy asked with a grin of her own.

"Well, he did choose you. But that was only after he enquired if you had a car and when I said yes. He figured you could both use your car," Tom said with a chuckle, and Lucy giggled.

"No, he didn't say that!" Lucy said, laughing.
