How did Kelsey do?
Er, well.
Who's Kelsey?
Er, girl with no heart. I had to do a laparoscopic bowel repair while the poor thing was awake on the table.
Miranda, mind your manners. Even if surgery is your whole life it doesn't mean you have to talk about bowels at the dinner table.
My child is healthy.
Excuse me?
He may not be with me tonight, but he's healthy...
I didn't say he-
He's a well loved boy, and he's a happy boy. And staying in an unhappy marriage...
Now is not the time or the place-
And staying in an unhappy marriage, a marriage that I've outgrown, a marriage full of ultimatums, and numbness and resentment...
Miranda-
That is not the kind of life I want to model for my child. That is not what I want him to believe married love is. And I know what's possible, I know what's out there for me because you taught me well. You and mom showed me what true love looks like, so I chose not to settle, and I'm happier for it. Even if I'm alone at Christmas. My child is healthy, and I'm happy. --You know, part of my happiness is the fact that I got to repair a woman's bowel and save her life today. And that's God's work, which makes this an appropriate Christmas dinner conversation. --I'm happy, and my child is healthy, and that's enough for me today, Dad. That's enough.
