A cold, killing calm settled on Curtis. His eyes didn't widen at the doctor's words, nor did he say anything to reveal.
Instead he leaned back on his bed and closed his eyes.
"Please, go on with your checkup, doctor," he stated calmly.
Lisa exchanged a confused glance with her daughter. When the doctor revealed that they were in France, the both of them had been expecting him to flare up. They had expected him to explode and yell in their faces, to tell them that they had no right to move him away from his wife and to another country completely.
But Curtis did none of this. He said nothing either, and his eyes, when he opened them again, were two pools of blankness.
Laura was scared.
Curtis had never ever been this calm whenever he was supposed to be angry before. His temper was very hot, and everyone in the family knew better than doing things that would make him mad.
