She points at me. "You still have a fever."

"Exactly."

Scarlett turns toward Sophie. "Do you see this?"

Sophie closes my chart and smiles. "I absolutely do."

I look between the two of them. "What?"

Scarlett looks back at me, and her smile somehow gets even bigger. "Oh my God."

"What?"

"I know that look."

"I don't have a look."

She laughs. "You absolutely have a look."

"I have the flu."

"You have the flu and a crush."

"Pffft, I do not."

Scarlett laughs so hard she has to grab the doorframe. "Oh, you're gone."

I blink at her. "Gone?"

She nods. "Gone."

"I met her like five minutes ago."

"Exactly."

I look over at Sophie. "What am I missing?"

Scarlett points at me. "You know who Lucy is?"

I shake my head. "No."

"She was my pick for your blind date."

I stare at her. "...What?"

"The one I was trying to set you up with."

My brain completely stalls. "Wait."

Scarlett nods. "She was the one I wanted you to meet. I hadn't even talked to her about it yet because I was still trying to figure out how to make it happen."

Tiny stares at her for a second before a slow smile spreads across his face. "So you're telling me..."

Scarlett laughs. "You beat me to it."

I can't stop the smile that spreads across my face, even though I still feel like absolute garbage. "The contest...It's over."

She laughs. "You haven't even taken her on a date yet to know if you two even get along."
