The doctor's office is a box of sterile white, buzzing under harsh fluorescent lights. You're planted in a cold plastic chair, the scent of antiseptic sharp in the air. Mattheo's hand is warm and solid in yours until they call his name. He rises, then turns to gently press you back into your seat, a flicker of unease breaking through his usual grin. 'I'll be fine.

'He passed out the moment he saw the needle.' She nods toward the back room, where a certain curly-headed boy is undoubtedly sprawled in a chair. Are you going to check on him?
