The Lie Behind His Eyes

[Samantha James]

Idina sighed and rolled her eyes while she sat in the room with Adam. "You're one of the most stubborn men I know Pascal, you know that?" She brushed a bit of hair from her face. "You practically pass out in rehearsal and it still takes me, Taye, Anthony, Wilson, and Jesse to get you're stubborn ass in the car."

[Adam Pascal]

Adam just rolled his eyes slightly and turned on his side.

[Samantha James]

"Relax sugar," said Idina gently. "You want me to call Cybele?" she asked. She knew Adam and his wife were going through a divorce, but figured he could use the comfort.

[Adam Pascal]

"No don't call her." Adam said coldly before saying softly "I'm fine."

[Samantha James]

Idina sighed and threw her hands up in defeat. "Alright Adds, alright, I won't call her," she replied. "but you're not fine, and you know it."

[Adam Pascal]

Adam didn't answer her as he closed his eyes.

[Samantha James]

Samantha James rounded the corner and grabbed the file on the door and walked inside, smiling warmly. She glanced down at the file before she spoke. "Hello there Mr. Pascal, my name's Samantha, I'll be the nurse in charge of your care this afternoon," she said.

[Adam Pascal]

Adam opened his eyes to look at her before closing them again.

[Samantha James]

Idina sighed softly. "You'll have to excuse him," she said. "He's a bit cranky." Samantha chuckled softly. "Not a fan of hospitals are we?"

[Adam Pascal]

Adam just looked at her before looking away again.

[Samantha James]

"I can't help you if you don't talk to me," said Samantha. "I'm not here to hurt you."

[Adam Pascal]

"I'm fine i don't need to be here." Adam muttered softly.

[Samantha James]

"Adam," Idina sighed softly. "You're sick, you need help."

[Adam Pascal]

"I'm not i'm just tired." Adam said.

[Samantha James]

"You're running a fever Adam," said Idina. "You're sick."

[Adam Pascal]

Adam gritted his teeth and turned away.

[Samantha James]

"This doesn't have to be so hard Adam," said Samantha gently. "If you let me help you, I can get you out of here."

[Adam Pascal]

Adam sighed softly before opening his eyes again.

[Samantha James]

"Whether you like it or not," said Samantha. "If you want out of here, you're going to have to cooperate with me."

[Adam Pascal]

Adam sighed before saying "Its just a small fever."

[Samantha James]

"A small fever could lead to something more dangerous later," said Samantha, walking over to get the thermometer.

[Adam Pascal]

Adam sighed and rolled his eyes slightly.

[Samantha James]

"Adam, behave," muttered Idina.

[Adam Pascal]

Adam sighed again and opened his mouth for Samantha.

[Samantha James]

Samantha smiled warmly and placed the thermometer in Adam's mouth.
