69- Cheer Up

“Why did you even want to go out all of a sudden?” Rayan grumbled.

“Because I told you,” Scott replied gently, “staying cooped up inside isn’t doing either of us any good, and I thought of a few errands I need to run.”

Scott was wheeling Rayan down to the parking garage where his parent’s car was waiting. They’d swapped vehicles shortly after Rayan got out of the hospital, since it was easier to get Rayan’s wheelchair in and out of their SUV than Scott’s sedan. It was waiting right near the elevator where they’d parked it in the handicap spot, with the temporary disability tag prominently hanging from the rearview mirror.

“But do I really have to go too? I’d be fine by myself for a few hours.” Rayan pouted, reaching up to pull his knit cap a little lower. “Bringing me along is only going to slow you down.”
