"She's an artist and very lovely," Thomas added. "Though far too blunt for poor Jamie's comfort."
Thomas opened his mouth to say something else, but their doctor walked in. She had talked to Thomas on the phone a few days ago and it was nice to see her in person. She didn't seem too scary despite being a doctor and a geneticist. Maybe this wouldn't be so horrible...
"Hello, my name is Doctor Sharon Freeman." She went to shake everyone's hand, ending with Thomas on the table. "I'm here for your blood."
Thomas appreciated her attempt to put him at ease. "I suppose I could spare some."
