"Ok then..." Annabel said finally looking up from her clipboard, "How are you feeling.

"Can I go out then, can I see the new world?!" He interrupted.

"Oh, ok." Nick replied staring down at his lap.
"Alrighty then." Annabel said as she pulled down the the blood pressure cuff from the hook and began to finish the check-up.
