The nurse hesitated for a second. The marks from the previous jab were still evident on Serena’s forehead. She appeared somewhat embarrassed, “The previous nurse was a bit jittery due to lack of experience. I can assure you that I’ll get it right the first time.”

Neil’s stern look softened a bit upon hearing this. He seemed even more concerned for Serena than I was, though I had no proof of this.
