“Oh, I’m sure that conversation will go down a treat.
My husband who technically doesn’t exist magically
transformed himself into a grumpy old man to cheat
death.”

“Which isn’t so much of a cheat if you think about it.
Aren’t you more liable now to simply drop dead of old age?”

“Technically doesn’t exist?
       Oh, I suppose I’ll start introducing you
                                                   like that as well.
      And if that does ever happen I’ll be sure
               to get Ella to give you a ring just so y'can gloat.
    I’m adorably considerate like that.”
