Chapter 16: Level Four

On Monday my clinic sent six of us to a training day in a downtown tower.

At four I crossed the skyway to the parking ramp with my feet aching.

Nils had texted that morning.

Level four, by the pillar. Don't take the elevator.

I took the stairs.

His truck sat in the far corner under a dead light, with the engine off and the windows already fogged.

He stood beside it in his ski patrol jacket with a thermos in his hand.

He had been waiting a while.

I could tell by how red his ears were.

"Ginger tea," he said, and held it out.

"For the sick part. Leif says it works."

"Leif told you what to bring me?" I said.

"Leif told me four things to bring you," Nils said.

"I left the other three in the truck."

I took the thermos and drank.

It was hot and sharp and sweet, and the nausea I had carried since lunch eased off.

I looked up at him, six foot four and watching me with his soft brown eyes.

He took the thermos out of my hand and set it on the hood.

"Back seat," Nils said.

I stared at him.

He had never given me an order in his life.
