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

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.
