“I will be in a minute.”
“It’s scary. I know. But a wise woman once said that sometimes we have to do the things we don’t want to do, even if it’s the things that scare us the most.”
“I like it. Who said that?”
“You did.” He smiled. “If you want, I can follow you to the medical center.”
“That’s very sweet of you, Simon, but I can do this.”
“Yeah. I know you can. You have a good day, Dr. Charlotte Roman.”
“You too, Detective Simon Kind.”
He winked at me before climbing out of the car.
Before heading to my office, I stopped by Conner’s to tell him I was here.
“Good morning, June.”
“Good morning, Charlotte. How are you today?”
“I’m good. Is Conner in his office?”
“He’s in with a patient right now.”
“Okay. Can you just let him know I’m here and will be in my office?”
“You bet.” She smiled.
Walking into the kitchen area for a much-needed cup of coffee, I saw Emilia and Georgia in there talking.
“Oh, good. You’re here.” Emilia smiled.
“We were just talking about you,” Georgia said. “All of us girls are getting together for a girls’ night, and you’re joining us.”
“That sounds like fun.”
“Great. We’re meeting at my house at six-thirty,” Emilia said. “Don’t eat because Sebastian is cooking for us.”
“I won’t.” I laughed.
I took my coffee and went to my practice. After turning on my diffuser, I sat behind my desk and reviewed the files and notes of the two patients coming in tomorrow.
“Excuse me, Charlotte,” Olivia spoke as she opened my office door. “A man and woman in the waiting room would like to speak to you.”
“Who are they?”
“Mr. and Mrs. Williams.”
“Do I know them?” I furrowed my brows.
“No, and I don’t either. They said it’s about their son Matthew.”
“Is he a patient of mine?”
“No.” She shook her head.
“Okay.” I sighed. “Go ahead and bring them back.”
