"That," he says with a grin so sly it threatens to slide right off his damn face, "I can do."
It was gettin' a little close in here. For a minute there he almost thought he was running a long con without the con part. Somethin' about facing down all that stuff in a dark and enclosed space makes a man think about what's important and what ain't. And yeah, he's been in the stir, been in lockup, and he knows that's what solitary's all about: makin' a man face what really matters. He never had to do that in prison, and he's glad.
And now that they're gonna get breakfast he realizes exactly how starvin' he is, so he orders up a damn storm. All the stuff they couldn't get on the island: pancakes with syrup. Bacon. Eggs. Bowls of Martian fruits; coffee with cream. Fresh-squeezed orange juice. Cheesecake. Toast.
Hopefully the power reset don't mean whatever it is ain't been chargin' none of 'em to live here all this time is suddenly gonna call in the debts. Course, the flip side of that is maybe the slate's been wiped clean. Fresh start.
(Love you too, Freckles.)
"So. Vincent. He's gonna have a nice little sit-down sometime and explain it all, he said?" If what Nurse Nancy here says is true, then he owes the guy for takin' good care of his girl. But he'd sure as hell like to hear the explanation first-hand.
