Miles ignored her words, his gaze fixed on the red rims of her eyes.

Even though the tears had dried, the redness and swelling wouldn't disappear in an instant.

"No, I haven't!" Felicity widened her eyes guiltily, feigning realization. "Oh, my eyes? Yeah, they felt a bit uncomfortable on my way home today. Might be pink eye or something." "I'll take you to see a doctor," he said, moving forward to grab her hand.
