Estrella sighed, “I have no idea, Thomas. And honestly, it’s not my circus, not my

She had been a bit under the weather a few days back with a mild cold, but it had been over two weeks since she last saw Jason. If he had caught something, it certainly wasn’t

from her.

Thomas chuckled, teasing her, “Who’s pinning anything on you, Estrella? I’m just saying, our boy Jason here is sick with longing for you. Ever since you dropped the divorce bomb, he’s been down for the count with a fever hitting the high 104s. The docs at the hospital are stumped-his fever just won’t break.

Hearing Thomas’ over-the-top story, Estrella laughed, “A fever that high? He wouldn’t need cremation at that point.”

Estrella, seeing she had rendered Thomas mute, playfully smacked his head with the stack of papers she was holding, “You should be on a comedy stage.” If someone had a fever that high for days, they’d be a goner, not waiting around till now.

“Estrella, you messed up my hair,” Thomas said, smoothing back his locks before adding, “No joke, I’m dead serious about Jason. If you don’t believe me, go see him at the hospital. He’s burning up with no sign of cooling down.”

“Enough, Thomas. I’ve got better things to do than trade barbs with you all day.”

Estrella straightened his rumpled collar with a pat and turned, heading for the parking lot. Thomas called after her retreating figure, “If you can find the time, maybe drop by the hospital to see Jason. Otherwise, you might miss your chance to see him for the last time.”

Without turning back, Estrella waved dismissively at Thomas, slid into her car, and drove off. Thomas’ words were like a late-night infomercial-more fiction than fact. Even if Jason was genuinely sick, there wasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell she’d visit him.
