"You didn't need me here, John." Manny said. "Why am I here?"

"I never said I needed you here." John said with a smile. "I said I wanted you to come with me to the follow-up."

"Okay, why?"

"Because I wanted you to hear it from the doctor. That I was fully healed. That I could live my life again, such as it is."

"I still don't get it." Manny said, confused. "You could tell me that after your appointment. Why bring me along?"

"Because, Manny, that means I'm fully healed. I'm able to immediately do everything that this body could normally do."

He then smiled, a look of lust in his eyes as he covertly brushed the tips of his fingers over one cloth covered breast.

"Everything."
