common illness, true love 

Managed to cap-off my respiratory ailment by contracting a gastrointestinal bug, a condition I managed to conceal from the Vyfe until after she saw me double-over and wince in the passenger seat during our road trip to see Zoë Keating perform.

"We probably should have just canceled the trip," she said.

"I knew you would say that," I managed between coughs, "so I hid it until I knew it be too late to turn back!" I triumphantly groaned while clutching my stomach.

But seriously, Vyfe's first musical instrument love was the cello, and she was excited for this show. What's a little agony in exchange for that, eh?

Anyway, I've been hugging my stomach all evening through the performance so I'm gonna go collapse now.

@vyruem I only managed to interpret this at first as you describing true love as a common illness. Which sounded 'you' enough to be plausible.

...I think.

@Facet

Fair. XD

"Ugh. I seem to have contracted a serious affection."

"You mean 'infection?'"

"...I meant what I said."
