“I will. Maybe I’ll get there on my next vacation.” He smiled.
My phone rang, and Nathan was Facetiming me. I ignored it, and shortly after, a text message came through.
“Uncle Jackson. It’s Ella. Answer, please. It’s important.”
I have to quickly Facetime my niece, Ella,” I said.
“No problem. Go right ahead, Jackson.”
I hit the Facetime button, and Ella’s face appeared.
“Hi, Uncle Jackson.” She grinned.
“Hello, sweetheart. I’m having dinner at a restaurant, so I can’t talk right now.”
“Who are you having dinner with?” Her eye narrowed at me.
Really, kid?
“A doctor from Mass General.”
“Oh! What kind of doctor?”
“He’s a trauma surgeon, sweetheart. I’ll call you later.”
“No! I want to say hi. Please, Uncle Jackson.”
“I’d like to meet her.” Grayson smiled.
I turned the phone around.
“Hi, Ella. I’m Dr. Grayson Kind. It’s nice to meet you.”
“Say what?”
Grayson laughed. “It seems we have the same last name.”
“It’s nice to meet you, Dr. Kind. I’m Dr. Ella Kind.”
Grayson looked up at me, and I shook my head.
“Wow. What’s your specialty, Dr. Kind?” he asked her.
“Neuro and cardio for now. I haven’t decided if I will do one specialty or multiple specialties.”
I turned the phone around so Ella could see me.
“You said it was important, Ella.”
“Oh yeah. I can’t wait for Friday, Uncle Jackson. I’m so excited.”
“I know, sweetheart. I have to go. My dinner is getting cold. I’ll see you when I get back. I love you.”
“I love you too, Uncle Jackson. Bye, Dr. Kind.”
“Goodbye, Dr. Kind,” Grayson replied.
I ended the call and let out a sigh. “Sorry about that.”
