I watched as he sat down on the armchair across from my bed and sank down into it, holding his hand on his forehead as he stared at the floor.

Finally, he said something. “Are you going to keep it?” he asked.

“I don’t know,” I replied. “I guess I want to, but I think that you should have a say in it, too.”
