"I don't know," I say, yawning. "I've just felt off all day, and the movie wasn't really that scary."
"Well, we can watch a scary movie in bed," Katie says as she rises from the couch.
But when I try to pick up the plates to clear the table, something in my elbow twinges in protest, and for a brief second I wonder if all today's ailments are somehow related: my stomach pains, general lassitude, dizzy spells, pain in joints that won't go away - maybe some kind of weird cancer or something that'll get discovered when it's too late to do anything about it because I hate to go to the doctor.
