However, Veronica wasn‘t a peaceful sleeper; she kept rolling on the bed as she slept, and she ended up squashing her injured arm.

“Ow… that hurts…” she mumbled, before rolling over again.

“I had a fever last night?”

“Just a low one.”

“Oh,” Veronica replied. She looked at him with a complicated gaze. “Matthew?”
