Don’t get involved. He’d promised, and he meant to stick to that promise, but it left feeling Wilbur slightly anxious when he picked Jesse up from Drake’s. The dragon had long since gone to the diner, but his wife had been sitting on the front porch with her and waved as they pulled out of the driveway and headed back into town, the hospital as their destination. It wasn’t a quick drive by any means, and Wilbur was a man prone to filling silences. He knew they could be pleasant, or that they denoted some level of comfort, but Wilbur was very uncomfortable, and talking made him feel better.
“So didja decide yet if yah wanted t’find out whatcher Jellybean is?” Wilbur asked, figuring today of all days, she’d be open to at least talking about that, “Or are y’gonna jus’ let it be a surprise?”
The interior of Wilbur’s truck screamed bachelor. It smelled faintly of old McDonald’s (and there were some discarded wrappers to lend credit to the smell), an air freshener that likely hadn’t been replaced since the purchase of the truck, and for some reason, there were bug traps stashed in the nooks and crannies. Most visible was the one duct taped to the roof of the cab.
