After 32 Years of Marriage, a Woman’s Husband Refused to Let Her Touch the Cast on His Right Leg – Then She Accidentally Saw What He Was Hiding Underneath It

***

That evening, Conor’s sister, Amanda, stopped by with brownies.

“I figured neither of you needed another casserole,” she said.

“I told him that.”

Amanda was older than Conor by two years and direct enough to make him uncomfortable.

“How’s the ankle?”

“Still attached,” Conor called.

She sat across from him.

Then Amanda looked at his leg.

“At least this time you’re following instructions.”

She sat across from him.

Conor’s

face changed.

“What does that mean?” I asked.

Amanda glanced at him.

He said, “Nothing.”

She frowned. “Conor. Have you still not said anything to Cynthia?”

“Amanda, what are you talking about?”

Amanda glanced at him.

She set her cup of tea down.

“I told him after the biopsy that keeping you out of this was a mistake.”

“After the biopsy?”

Conor said, “You didn’t need to say that.”

“Apparently I did.”

I turned to him.
