Delilah Daniels - 1st Year Menace

I’m a second-year student now.

Dr. Lucas Saraci MD

I’ll change my entire schedule to fail you.

Delilah Daniels - 2nd Year Menace

You want to teach me again? How sweet!

Btw, I’m surprised.

Now ask me why.

He didn’t.

Delilah Daniels - 2nd Year Menace

You didn’t notice Raina’s typo?

I thought you’d screenshot it and put it in a frame or on a T-shirt or something.

At least get a tattoo.

Curious, he pulled back up the quiz results.

Raina S. score: 30.

You’re a perfect match!

Dr. Lucas Saraci MD

Does your sister’s middle name start with an S?

Delilah Daniels - 2nd Year Menace

Nope.

The D and the S were directly next to each other on keyboards.

It probablywasa typo.

Still, he found himself in the bedroom. Raina lay in the middle of the mattress, fast asleep, the hoodie gone to reveal a plain black tank top underneath, the lifted hem exposing a peek of her belly.

A book lay next to her head, the front cover slightly curled with a bookmark jutting from the middle. The cover boasted a shirtless, faceless male model wearing a white coat and a stethoscope around his neck, the stethoscope dangling way past his belly button.

Which was ridiculous.

Stethoscopes weren’t that long.

“Oh.” He cocked his head to the side. “I think I get it. The stethoscope’s a metaphor for a pen—”

Raina stirred.

He shut his mouth.

Living alone for the last couple of years, he’d forgotten that not everyone talked to themselves the way he did. At first, it was necessary; reading and speaking out loud was one of the first lessons he’d received from Dr. Akello about getting ahead of his dyslexia. Eventually, the practice evolved into him sharing his thoughts like someone was always around to hear them.
