Sally

As soon as I was dry, I found myself reaching for the get well card on my desk. I weighed the options carefully in my head and It seemed as though the worst case scenario was that she would just be very grateful to me, and that didnt sound so bad. if what the fairy said was true then she probably woke up having a similar bit of morning mess...ok I need to stop thinking about that, the point is she's probably already awake. I steeled myself and took the phone in my hand and dialed.

the phone rang for an agonizingly long time, and I started to question myself about why I didnt just send an ordinary text. just as I was about to give up I heard a beep

"Hello? This is Sally speaking" a light, cheerful voice came through the other end.

"Uh Hi, this is Uh, Robin" my quiet voice managed.

"Sorry could you speak up, what was your name?" she said, I could already tell this was an extremely patient woman.

"Robin, we met the oth-"

"OH-" she interrupted, the sounds of scrambling becoming apparent in the background "Robin! right, right! Im so glad to hear you doing alright! thank you so much for what you did."

I had briefly forgotten why I was in the hospital at all. "Oh, it was nothing" my social anxietys **** me to be humble. "I... just tripped...in front of a snake. thats all" I did my best. lying is hard

"No please, you saved poor Odie's life. here, hold on..." she said. Odie, huh? I hope this is where the Garfield refrences end. maybe its just a coincidence. "Odie! say thank you!" a light tiptap of small clawed feet on hardwood sounded as my ears were filled with an incredibly loud yip in my ear. I could hear the girl giggle after that. "she says thank you"

I scratched my head "I guess if he says it I dont have a choice but to say your welcome" I reluctantly accepted, grateful no one could see my face in this moment.

A few seconds pass before she starts talking, a little quieter. "hey..."

"yeah?"

"Do-do you want to grab some lunch later? on me." her voice suddenly became alot less confident sounding and more nervous. I think back to what the fairy told me...no not that part, the part about how sally feels about me. If the fairy and sally are connected, im getting the impression that Sally doesnt know that her Fairy is such a gossip monarch. either way... the temptation to meet Sally was getting to me. so I might as well go right?
