"Nothing" she replied "Something I ate just didn't agree with me"
She stood up, wincing as she did, and then realizing that she was still naked, she
yanked a towel around her body.
She walked back on shaky legs to the bedroom and retrieved her clothes off the floor.
Logan had disappeared, and now came back with a damp cloth. He took her hand
and made her sit down, and she followed him, without argument.
"You sure you're okay? you look pretty crappy" Logan asked again, wiping her face
with the cloth.
"I'm *fine*" she spat back.
He just shot her a look, setting the cloth down.
There was an uneasy silence that hung about them.
Max pulled some lint off the towel that she wrapped around herself, and Logan re-
adjusted the sash on his robe.
"So about last night" Logan began, but Max interjected
"If this is one of those 'I'm sorry, but it was just a one time deal' speeches, spare me
now" she said with an assertive tone.
Logan shook his head "I wasn't going to say that, I was *going* to say that it was
incredible, and if you do THAT every time you're in heat then you can hide out here
all the time" he finished his remark with a smile.
Max didn't reply at first, she was to busy thinking.
I have to see the doctor, I have to know
She looked back up. Logan was still waiting for a response. She didn't have one.
"Hate to screw and run, but I have to get to work" she stood and went to get dressed,
leaving Logan sitting there.

This room is freezing Max noted sitting on the examine bench in the little paper
gown they made her put on. She glanced back at the clock for about the twentieth time in five minutes
What the hell's taking so long? The doctor told her it would only be a minute, and
that was forty minutes ago. She was already late for work. Normal was going to
blow a gasket, if he hadn't done so already.
The door to the room opened, and the doctor came back in. "Sorry that took so
long" she apologized walking up to Max "I had to see another patient who re-
scheduled at the last minute"
That's why these people MAKE appointments so they can KEEP them Max
fumed to herself, but said to the doctor:
"I understand" She fell silent, unable to think of the right words to use for her next
statement, but finally decided on: "so?"
It seemed like forever, but it was actually three seconds later when the OB/GYN
responded:...
