I Can Handle This!

Daniel returned home after his first day back. He dropped his briefcase and along with it the figurative mask that he had worn all day.

Now that he was home, he didn't want to continue acting. He unbuttoned his jacket hesitantly, knowing what to expect, and sure enough there was a blood stain on his shirt.

He took out his cellphone and called Dr.Phan to explain his ailment and ask him to make a home visit.

Erin heard a sound and knew that Daniel had arrived, so she came out to the reception area to meet him. She wore the same revealing dress since the night before.
