“Ugh,” I groan as I start to move. “Fine, let’s go.”

“Hey, do you guys want to meet us upstairs for dinner?” Nessa asks from behind us.

“Nah, we’re going to crash early,” Dominic says for the both of us. “We’ll see you later.”

Once a little bit away from the group, I can’t help but tease him.

“What if I wanted to go to dinner with everyone?”

Dom’s steps falter. “Do you want to? I can shoot Grant a text asking him to hold a spot for us.”

“No, that’s okay. If the doctor tells me that I need to have a shot of Benadryl though, you might want to head out for a bit though.”

“Why’s that?”

“Because anytime I’ve taken anything stronger than Tylenol, I tend to say some really interesting things,” I warn.

Dominic laughs as we step into the medbay. “Good to know.”

“Hey you two, back so soon?” the nurse from the other day asks. “Is there something wrong with your foot?” she asks, looking at Dom.

“I’m good. But I think this one is having an allergic reaction,” he says, pointing at me.

The nurse frowns. “Let’s get you checked out then.”

“I’m sure it’s nothing,” I tell her.

“Better safe than sorry. Hop on up. I’ll go grab the doc from the back.”

I jump up onto the bed as she walks away and swing my legs back and forth.

“Hey guys, Nurse Becky told me you were back.” The doctor smiles. “What seems to be the problem today?”

“This one seems to think I’m having an allergic reaction,” I say, pointing at Dominic.

“Well considering you’ve been rubbing your arm this entire time and it’s covered in hives, I’d say he’s right.” The doctor smiles as he inspects my arm. “Where did you go today?”

“We went off the boat and hiked up to the waterfall,” Dominic tells him.

“Sounds lovely. How long ago did you notice this?” the doctor asks.

“About an hour and a half ago,” Dominic says.

The doctor hums. “Well, I could give you a pill of Benadryl but to be safe with how fast this has spread I would rather be safe and give you a shot instead.”

I groan. “Lovely. Do what you have to do.”

Dominic rubs my shoulder in support as the doctor pulls on a pair of gloves. The nurse comes back, holding a syringe, and hands it to the doctor.

“All right, Katie, if you could roll over. We should be able to pull your shorts to the side to administer the shot. If not, we will have to pull them down some.”

“You have to shoot me in the ass?” I pout as I move, rolling over onto my stomach.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle,” the doctor quips.

Dominic makes a weird sound in the back of his throat, making me look back over at him.

“You good?”
