Nolan looked at Henry with pitiful moisture in his eyes as he tried to keep his voice even. "I have some something every stupid kid does. I have feelings for Janma Wu, Ellie's surgeon.

Every advance I make she ignores or acts like it's a friendly gesture. I'm losing."

That's good that she makes time for you. She probably really likes having you around." Henry looked at Nolan in amazement. The boy had better sense than Henry did himself. A surgeon?
