Summary
“What’s the real reason you didn’t go to the hospital last night?” MJ asks without looking at him.
Ahahaha.
Shit.
“I dunno,” Peter says casually, reaching for his sandwich before remembering he finished it five minutes ago. “They smell weird. Are you gonna finish those fries?”
MJ peers at him over her book, giving him a disinterested look before returning to her reading on Cannibalism in Medieval European Societies. She’s probably trying to go for her trademark you-could-be-choking-on-your-tongue-and-I’d-still-wait-to-finish-my-page-before-calling-an-ambulance kind of look, and it might have worked, but the book is upside-down and her neutral expression is sloppier than usual.
If Peter didn’t value his life, he might have called it worry.
She gives him a squinted-eye once-over. Then, slowly, without breaking eye contact, slides her plate of half-eaten fries to the center of the table.
Since she’s allergic to the full spectrum of human emotions, or at least to communicating them through words, Peter’s learned that MJ sharing food is her way of saying things are okay. At least for now.
He takes a fry.
She steals a gummy worm and goes back to her book.
