“Hey, thanks for coming over with Tank to see Ripp.”

“It’s no problem. Tank and I wanted to visit him when he was in the hospital, but our work schedules couldn’t exactly match up, you know?”

“I understand. You sure you want to stay here waiting for Tank, though?”

“I think it’s better to let the two have some time alone. Plus, I wouldn’t want to let this hot cocoa become cold cocoa.”
