His ringing phone startled him. He was glad for the distraction but recognized the ringtone as Mac’s, and he assumed she was calling only to check up on him again.
“Yes, Mac. I’m still feeling fine,” he said immediately.
“Good. I’m glad to hear it. It’ll be good to have you back tomorrow,” she said.
