"We should ask the doctor." He replied smoothly lapsing back into silence.
They'd been in silence ever since they left the room and it was beginning to get a bit awkward.
"Are you mad?" She asked him slowly wishing she could see his expression at least. He took a bit longer than necessary then replied,
