With a positive mind, Mattie could not wait to use her luck potion. She waited for the day she knew they would need it; that one day when more people called off than came into work. Call it a placebo or real magic, Mattie did not care. It worked. It was crazy how well it worked. The day seemed perfect and that was all the luck she needed. Yet exactly twenty-four hours later, the trouble started.
Mattie had very little memories of allergies from her childhood. On occasion she would be sick, but it never felt like this. Nose running like a faucet, eyes swelling and itching. Hives appeared behind her ears and on the backs of her hands. The worst was probably the itch in her mouth. How was she supposed to scratch her tongue anyways?
She gave her symptoms a day. Tae warned her about it, it should be fine. That day turned to three before she felt the swelling go down in her eyes. The hives grew as time went on as well. By day five Mattie gave up with creams and medicine. None of her previous medical training was helping. Now it was time to go back to the source.
Mattie sent Tae a text early in the morning to meet up. She still felt itchy, but she knew she needed to go. Watery eyes and a runny nose was not going to stop her this time. She waited for him at the park, pacing back and forth across the path. Simply seeing the male approach was a relief. Mattie bit her lower lip, paying little mind to how swollen it was.
“Uhh, Tae?” At first Mattie’s gaze was on her hands. The hives seemed to be moving up and around her arms. Hopefully he had an antidote. Mattie held out her hands for Tae like a child to an adult. “I think I did something wrong.”
