Not sure if he’s joking since his expression turns serious when he crosses his arms over his chest “When did this start? Are there any other symptoms?”

“Claot ’eers topulse And so a chuckle “I even hear birds singing, but when I look around, there are none” Cade’s eyes groide as he pretends to be concerned “What’s wrong with ht, doc”

“Or?” He sounds so serious, keeping me on pins and needles

“You ht be in love”

I think , et a second opinion” I burst out laughing

Stepping back a few feet, he laughs “Like having an actual heart attack”

“Don’t put that into the universe”
