"Why'd you give me that stuff anyway?"

"Really Matt? you're sick! As I have stated at least four times. Your voice is already starting to become nasal."

"Claire, I'm fine." He then sneezed.

"I know your staring at me, but I'll be okay."

"I know that's why I'm here, and I know you don't want me to leave."

He didn't.

"I just don't want to be a burden."

Claire gave a heavy sigh. Then took his face in her hands.

"Matt, you are not a burden."

He placed his hand over hers.

She started to lean in, then Matt stopped her.

"I don't want you to get sick."

She smiled, "Nurse perks."

Their smiles touched, and a warmth filled both of them through their stomach to their hearts.

Matt was still smiling." Nurse perks."

And their lips met agin.
