Oh for the love of Summerbee... This whole "telling Drew about my condition without telling him about my condition" thing was going swimmingly. Kevin needed a new tactic.
"Seriously, Drew, I'm fine. See?" he teased, plastering a too-big grin onto his face. "I'd race you to the top, but we've seen what happens when I try to run." That was the ticket: humor. If you can't duck the issue directly, sidestep it.
Kevin squeezed Drew's shoulder and started up the stairs again. Thankfully, they were almost there.
