Spring was in full bloom, with the scent of flowers growing more intense each day, and daylight stretching longer into the evenings.

Leanne clocked out early, and Joy and Selina were once again crashing at her place for

Joy arrived with a heavy nasal voice, immediately looking for a thermometer: “Let’s see if my fever’s gone down.”

Leanne saw her grabbing the ear thermometer and was about to stop her, but Joy had already taken her temperature.

After retaking her temperature, it read 101.3 degrees. Joy clutched her chest, shaken: “What the heck is up with this thermometer? Almost gave me a heart attack.”
