"Hey, don't get all impatient now. You've been under the weather lately, and I don't want to worry about you," Miles said, trying to sound more confident than he felt.

Felicity, his soon-to-be fiancée, was a free spirit if ever there was one. She'd listen when she felt like it, and when she didn't, well, she'd just leave him on read. But what could he do? She was his girlfriend, and he adored her.
