Summary
“Shift going okay?” Carter asks as he goes to open his locker.
“Yeah, been pretty quiet actually,” Anna leans against the locker wall, arms crossed, studying him; he does look tired, and his nose is a little red. “Feel okay?”
Carter sniffs and clears his throat. “Yeah, yeah. Just some upper respiratory thing, more annoying than anything.”
“Take anything for it?”
Carter scoffs a laugh, “I’m okay, Anna.”
Anna rolls her eyes. Classic man behavior, she thinks, refusing any and all supportive measures unless near death. He appears to be his usual self though, maybe a little grumpy, so she’s not worried and doesn’t push it.
