“Stop touching me.” He brushed my hand away in irritation.
“Why are you so grumpy? Did you take the wrong meds?” I tried to joke, even though I saw the seriousness in his face, a face I only just realized was really handsome now that we were close. No wonder so many women were crazy about him.

“W–what do you mean?” I asked, confused.
“Marry me!”

“Wow, someone sounds jealous,” Albert teased, smiling mischievously at me.

Wow, he really did seem to be feeling better.
“Mr. Albert Williams! Please come to the doctor’s room,” a nurse called out.
We then walked into the room the nurse had indicated.
“Good afternoon, sir. What seems to be the problem?” the young, pretty doctor asked kindly.
“For the past few days, I’ve been having headaches and a fever, doc.”
“Alright, let me examine you. Please lie down, sir.”
