Sometimes you need to have an actual serious conversation. Just because it may not be very long doesn't mean it's not necessary. "If the wound was still life-threatening, they'd have me intubated and sedated somewhere. It's healed already. I'm fine, and I don't mind clinging." A beat. "But I'm definitely not marrying a teenager, and I'm pretty sure I already told you you're not my type, so you don't have to worry about being widowed just yet."
