Magical Hugh flattered Magical Sue with pretty words and disingenuous compliments, all while keeping his gag reflex in check.
He confessed to having fallen madly in love with her at first sight and begged that they be married.
In due time of course.
And with the stipulation that she supply him with some of the sweet life nectar under her hat: the insulin.
She saw no problem with that, as long as she got her leprosy cure.
"Sure, no problem," Hugh said as he slipped a plastic engagement ring on her finger with a three-foot pole.
Within six months, Sue passed and Hugh inherited a massive amount of insulin.
Only three attended her funeral. Thomas, Hugh, and her cat Beef Tips.
The three of them formed quite a close friendship after the funeral and had a lot of ragtag adventures solving crimes and petty misdemeanors.
But that's another story.
THE END
