Ethan cracked one eye open to look at the nurse. She appeared to be in her twenties, kind-looking but blunt, clearly not one to sugarcoat things. He sighed inwardly. Would it have killed her to cover for him a little? The nurse handed him a thermometer with the sno-nonsense tone. "Please take your temperature."
