“Okay then, just give her some time.”
“Easier said than done.”
Graham gives me a grim smile as I finish ringing up his purchases.
“Good luck with your lady. If I can do anything or be there for you, just let me know, man.”
“Thanks, Graham.”
“Sure,” he says, nodding his head and I can tell that he doesn’t really know how to help me or be there for me right now.
“I can’t wait until the day that you fall head over heels for someone and come to me for advice.”
“Never going to happen, man, Graham says with a laugh and I smile.
“We’ll see.”
I help him load up his truck and wave as he heads back up to Fallen Peak. Once his truck is out of sight, I turn back to the diner, my eyes hungrily scanning for a glimpse of Caroline and Charlotte, but I don’t see them or her car in the lot.
I sigh, turning and heading back inside. Looks like I’m in for another lonely night.
ChapterSeventeen
Caroline
“So, I think it must be what Charlotte had last week. I’ve been nauseous and tired,” I tell Dr. Coleman and he nods, writing something down in my chart.
“Let’s check you out.”
I shift on the exam table, the thin paper crinkling under my legs.
“Any fever in the last few days?”
“No,” I admit and he frowns.
“Hmm.”
He checks my temperature, blood pressure, looks in my eyes and ears and feels my lymph nodes.
“Are you feeling nauseous right now?” he asks.
“No, it’s more in the afternoons,” I admit.
He writes something else down and then takes a seat next to the table.
“Any other symptoms?”
“Just feel kind of emotional and tired.”
“Okay.”
I watch him as he writes down something else.
“Well, without the fever and the all-day nauseousness, it doesn’t sound like it’s the bug that’s going around that Charlotte had.”
“Okay,” I say, starting to get a little nervous.
“Are you under a lot of stress?”
