"Where the hell were you?'
"You know that I'm a doctor, right?" Tahira sounded wary over the phone, her voice so hoarse and stuffed. "I have three shifts today—I won't be home till tomorrow."

"You see, that's the problem." Nathan continued.
"What? What happened to her?"
"Nothing is wrong with her," Nathan simply said. "But I know there's something wrong between us." He took a deep breath, hoping that Tahira would at least say something to him instead of acting confused.
But there was only silence. There was no response from Tahira. "Tahira?"
"Uh—I—yeah?" Tahira cleared her throat. "What about us?"
"We need to talk!"
