"Your lungs are looking good," Julie removed the stethoscope from around her neck. "Are you having any issues?"

"No, none at all."

"Take a deep breath for me." Julie placed it on my back. 

I inhaled. Held it. And exhaled. 

"Sounds good too," Julie smiled and placed the stethoscope on the table. "You're all good to go. Barb's around here somewhere."

I give Julie a hug. "Thank you."

I push open the door and freeze. 

My heart pounds in my chest.

I let the door close behind me. He looks over his shoulder, and his eyes widen.
