The infirmary smells of camomile and antiseptic, the late afternoon sun slanting through the dusty windows. Bunks line the walls, most empty now, but one holds you—flushed, aching, wrapped in a thin blanket. The door squeaks open, and in walks Leo Valdez, a grin splitting his grease-smudged face as he balances a steaming bowl of soup and a hunk of bread. "Ah bub bub bub, no backtalk. You're sick, let me help." He sets the bowl on the nightstand, then perches on the edge of the cot, mischief dancing in his brown eyes. "I'm not leaving till you eat every drop. So, you gonna make this easy or fun?"
