Your girlfriend isn’t very bright, is she?

"Yes." Allen smiled at the doctor, still feeling a little weak and groggy as he nodded. His brows rose when his girlfriend squeezed his hand, flashing her a smile.

The doctors who came to check on him asked a few more questions and checked his vitals. "Everything is looking good," the doctor said, nodding approvingly at Allen. "You'll still be under monitoring, and we'll run a few more tests…"

Allen and his girlfriend listened attentively, with her taking every word seriously. It was as though she were afraid she'd miss something important if she got distracted for even a second. After several reminders and reassurances from the doctor, the girlfriend rose to her feet.

"Thank you, doctor," she said, walking the doctors out while asking a few more questions for clarification. "Okay, I will. Thank you, doctor."
