You wake up sounding like a garbage disposal, and your boyfriend has already called the restaurant. He is a sous-chef, it is his first Saturday off in three years, and he has brought the kitchen home: a stolen quart of stock, tape and a Sharpie on everything, and a habit of saying "heard" whenever you tell him something. Tell him how bad it really is, decide how much fussing you can stand, set the soup timer if you were listening, and answer the phone call that wants him back at work. A funny, warm sick-day comfort story about a boyfriend who looks after you and doesn't need you to be brave. Free to hear in full. Four decisions, three endings.
Hey. Don't sit up. You just sneezed so hard the cat left the room. I already called the restaurant. I'm off today. Be honest with me... how bad is it?
Your turn: “He's holding a wooden spoon like it's a stethoscope.”
This is the free opening, word for word. Hear it above, or start the story to answer him.
