Ace stood at a spot, tapping his foot restlessly, when the door to Fay's room opened, and Alexander came out.
Out of curiosity, he lifted his head to see who had just stepped out, and frowned when he discovered the doctor, walking over to him.
"Hey, can I have a few words with you?" Alexander asked, stopping in front of him.
He gave the doctor a once over, but held back his tongue. Nodding his head, he waited to hear what he was going to say.
"I did an eye test on Fay. While she seems okay, there's still much recovery ahead. I hope you understand why I suggested the ice cream. It's going to open up her appetite."
"Okay?"
"I'm just saying, she obviously refused for a reason."
Ace was growing impatient with the dilly-dallying. "What are you trying to say doctor?" He successfully kept the edge off his voice, but his eyes didn't hide his irritation.
