I Went to Surprise My Husband at Work—His Colleague Looked at Me With Tears and Asked, “He Hasn’t Told You Anything, Has He?”
“He asked us not to call you.”
I stopped breathing normally.
“What?”
“He said if you showed up, he needed time before seeing you.”
I actually laughed.
Not because anything was funny.
“My husband gave hospital staff instructions about avoiding his wife?”
Patrick’s face crumpled.
