The drugs really started kicking in and he grinned wider. "Well, I', in the hospital. And you know, nothing too serious. I have to stay overnight for observation. And they gave me the good drugs, and I miss you, a lot. Your smile, and your nose wiggles, and the way you make me feel, and the way your hands and lips make me feel and the way I missed you all these years and maybe I think I want to see you again, if you know you are not busy."
The babblestream came to an end when he coughed and then sort of chuckled. And he would be eternally embarrassed later, when he recalled this.
