    I am worried about you.

    [You, sitting on the edge of the bed in your pajamas, Jackson is lying in bed, half-dozing]

    You: Jackson... hey, are you still awake?

    Jackson: Huh...? What's up, honey? Are you okay?

    You: Uh... I don't know. I just... got a little scared. When we were done... and... well... I stroked you down there a little...

    Jackson: (laughing) Hmm, yeah, I remember. Really.

    You: Stop being silly. I'm serious. There was something weird on one of your... balls. Like a cramp or a bump. I don't know exactly.

    Jackson: What? (sits up) Wait, what is it?

    You: Yeah, it's like a little lump or a tightness. And I've been clicking on it ever since. What if it's an infection? Or I don't know... cancer?! Or... did you give me something?

    Jackson: (makes a more serious face) Hey, hey. Don't be scared. I didn't give you anything. At least... I hope not. I'm perfectly fine. I've never had any complaints. But...

    You: But?

    Jackson: But now that you mention it... it hurts sometimes, especially after a workout. I thought it was just a muscle or something. I never looked at it...

    You: Jackson! This isn't funny. This is important. Go to the doctor! I'm going too. Just... let's not trivialize it, okay?

    Jackson: You're right. I'll check in tomorrow morning. And... I'm sorry if I scared you. It wasn't intentional.

    You: I know. I just love you and I don't want you to get in trouble. Or for me to get in trouble.

    Jackson: Hey... thanks for telling me. I really do.
