Masked Love
"You want me to what?" Olivia Wilson stared at Doctor Ray. The paper on the examining table crinkled with her shocked movement.
"A lot of people wear one and eventually get used to it."
"But what if I don't want to?" She eyed the contraption he dangled in the air that looked like something he'd snatched from a scuba diver.
"If you'll recall, when you agreed to the overnight study, we discussed sleep apnea which I suspected caused your constant fatigue, and the tests prove me right. People who suffer from the disorder often stop breathing for ten seconds or longer during sleep. The problem can be mild to severe, based on the number of times each hour you fail to take a breath or how often your lungs don't get enough air This may happen from five to fifty times an hour and can be fatal. Your results fall within these parameters."
"You mean I could die? She swallowed hard.
"Possibly, unless you use the CPAP machine and wear this mask. He extended his arm. "Here, try it on"
So....what will be the outcome of this opening scene? Will Olivia wear the mask? Why is she so worried? If you want to know, you can find Discovery on my amazon page.

I had to Google CPAP machine to find images. Not an attractive gear to wear if you're starting a new relationship, on the other hand, if it makes you more rested and saves your life, certainly someone interested in you would want you to use it. An interesting situation. Love the cover.
