Lindseys headache was overwhelming, and eventually, sleep overtook her.
After a long time, a persistent knocking roused her.
Whos there? Her head was pounding as she forced herself up. The fever made her body burn with heat. She stumbled to the door.

Noticing her red cheeks, Domenic felt her forehead and was startled.
Without waiting for Lindsey to respond, he lifted her into bed and hurried to get a thermometer.
She had a high fever!
Youre burning up. We need to get you to a hospital, he said.
As he leaned down to scoop her up, Lindsey caught his wrist.
Forcing her eyes open, she murmured, Ive already seen a doctor. The doctor told me its just for three days. If I keep up with my meds, Ill be okay.
Domenic spotted a bottle of medicine on the nightstand.
He quickly got water from the living room, came back, and helped Lindsey swallow her pills.

He fetched some cold water from the bathroom, soaked a towel, folded it neatly, and laid it on her forehead.
Thanks, Mr. Walsh, she said, her voice soft.
His kind, careful attention reminded her of her mother, who, despite being busy, would nurse her through fevers with gentle patience.
