"Feeling better?"
I asked
Pushing the tub aside.
The clock was still ticking
Quickly approaching midnight
When the zeros would line up
On the twenty four hour clock.
"Kind of."
I crossed my legs
And twisted to face her.
"Well
How can I help?"
She shrugged.
"I can tell jokes?"
She shrugged again.
The enthusiasm had left her eyes
And her facial features turned down.
"Are you ready?
Uh,
How did the Italian chef die?"
"How?"
"He pasta way!"
A small smile appeared on her face
Marking a large victory for me.
Just seeing her lips curve up
Was enough to make me happy.
"How often do I make
Jokes about chemistry?"
"How often?"
"Periodically."
Her smile turned into a giggle.
"You're not bad,
Hemmings."
'Not bad'
Gave me a spark of hope
Even though a part of me knew
That it probably still meant
'I would never give us a chance.'
