“He said he feels like throwing up,” said Nurse Molly, looking at me with very nice eyes.
“And I have a headache,” I whispered. “I wonder if it's something you ate,” said Mom, looking worried.
“There's a stomach bug going around,” said Nurse Molly. “Oh geez,” said Mom, her eyebrows going up as she shook her head.
She helped me to my feet. “Should I call a taxi or are you okay walking home?”
“I can walk.” “What a brave kid!” said Nurse Molly, patting me on the back as she walked us toward the door.
“If he starts throwing up or runs a temperature, you should call the doctor.”
“Absolutely,” said Mom, shaking Nurse Molly's hand. “Thank you so much for taking care of him.”
“My pleasure,” answered Nurse Molly, putting her hand under my chin and tilting my face up. “You take care of yourself, okay?”
I nodded and mumbled “Thank you.” Mom and I hug-walked the whole way home.

and later when she asked me if I felt well enough to go trick-or-treating after school, I said no.
