“That’s good. Now, here’s two more tables should you need them, but I think you’ll be okay to go to your next lesson. What is it?”

Elijah coughed over what I recognised was a chuckle.

“Biology, Nurse Turner.”

“Okay, well off you go.”

Ten minutes after that, I was slipping into my seat in business studies when my mobile buzzed with a text.

Eijah: Fucking love you. Best headache ever! xoxo
