"Don't touch me!" I screamed, crossing my hands in front of me as a shield.
He chuckled darkly.

"And tell me, what are you gonna do?" he says a...

"When is the doctor going to show up??" I questioned, my gaze drawn to the door as Linda entered the room, holding a warmer blanket.
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a little impatient, and it wasn't just because I was a little concerned about my wife. Unfortunately, It was also because I was uncomfortable with the position we were in.
Yes, with her face still buried in my chest as she occasionally snuggles closer to me and my hands circled around her, I found our position to be very strange. However, Regardless of how strange it was, for some unknown reason, it....made my heart warm.
A strange feeling it certainly was and if I'm to be truthful, for a moment, my cold side seemed to vanish as her dainty body shifted closer in and her long and deceptively delicate legs slipped over mine.

"Mr. Mariano," He greeted, stretching out her arm for a handshake. "I'm Giovanni Melcher, doctor and head of the Bosque Cure and Care medical center, how can I be of help??"

• "Well, It appears that your wife's blood pressure had risen and that was the cause for her excessive shivering..." His gaze averted from the blood pressure monitor wrapped around her left wrist as he reported.
He moves them to a briefcase and takes out a medium thermometer. "Chills can be a sign of high blood pressure, much like pounding in the chest, neck, and ears." He paused, placing the thermometer in her mouth.
