"What's wrong with her?" Ava asks, leaning over me and placing a hand on my cheek. "She's burning up."
Gen shakes her head.
"I don't know. Get Adam."
I immediately sit up.
"No! Please no. Not Adam."
"Why not?"
"I'll be fine. I don't want him touching me."
Tasha gazes at me with kind eyes.
"Lisha, Adam is the only 'doctor' in this house."
"He doesn't even have a degree yet."
"He'll have one in a month. Your point?"
"Just don't. I don't want him doing anything to me when I'm not thinking straight."
She shakes her head.
"Adam would never hurt you."
"Of course he wouldn't." I scoff.
Gen eyes me calmly.
"Tasha, get Adam over here. Now!"
"No. Lisha said she's fine and she doesn't want Adam here. She's a grownup so respect her decision."
"She's sweating. Look at her eyes.
