    Cass comes out after what feels like forever and takes a seat next to me. None of us say a word for a while and just stare at the ceiling.

   "How is she?"

   "She seems to have a fever. I don't know what to do?"

   "Adan said she will be fine. Let's check on her tomorrow. If she's not better, we take her to the hospital." She nods her head and goes to her room.

  For a little longer, I just sit here thinking of nothing in particular.

  The clicking sound of dishes wakes me up. Cass is busy doing God knows what with the dishes. It's morning. I slept here last night?

  "Why do you always have to be so noisy. Ouch..."

   "What's wrong?"

   "My neck hurts."

    "Well you slept on the couch. It's a daily occurrence."

   "You're not helping Cass."

   "Whatever." I get up and walk to her in the kitchen. I kiss her head as I always do.

   "What's for breakfast?"

   "Whatever it is you can make. I'm not making you anything."

   "Oh come on."

   "Nada. I've got things to do and the lady in the guest room hasn't woken up. I'm worried." I had forgotten about her.

   "Did you check on her?" She nods.

   "How is she? Has her fever gone down?"

   "She's good. Her fever has gone down but she's still unconscious. Maybe we should call Adan?"

   "Yeah I'll call him." I head for my room and take a quick shower. After all that, I pick up my phone and call Adan.

   "Hey Adan."

   "Hey C, how's the patient doing?"

  "She had a fever last night but she's better now." I walk into the guest room and I'm shocked to my gut.

  "Holy shit."

  "What happened Clark? Clark? Hey Clark?"

  "Yeah I... uh... no nothing happened."

  "So why did you scream?"

  "I was just surprised. She's awake."

  "Who's awake?"

  "The patient."

  "Oh ok. I'll be there in twenty."

  "Cool."

  "Did I scare you?"

  "No. Not really. I was surprised, that's all."

  "Yeah right." This girl has guts. She just woke up and she's already getting on my nerves.

  "How did I get here?"

  "You tell me." She looks at me with a stern expression and I do the same.

  "I mean I found you in front of my gate. So you tell me how you got here."
