Jenna’s heels clattered noisily as she hurried to catch up. The waiting room was cozy, well lit, and comfortably furnished. It looked more like a p...ivate study, rather than the lobby of a doctor’s office. Bookshelves adorned every wall, the room also contained a coffee table, several waiting chairs, and a receptionist’s desk. There was no computer on the desk, merely a telephone, a notepad and a fancy ballpoint pen. There was also a vase with fresh lilacs in it. Jenna loved lilacs! Their smell. Afraid that this Alpha Male had taken her from him; he was jealous; he was annoyed that she had agreed to a dance with this stranger before he and Sam had danced together.

He gave the first mug to Peggy and returned to the table with the second mug for himself. ‘The important thing is how are you holding up?’ ‘Oh, I’m getting by,’ Peggy replied, wiping more tears from her eyes. ‘I’m more. He's going to call the chopper pilot and see if he's willing to meet about setting up a flying service. If he wants to try it, we'll have a much shorter commute.

"Well, I thought I was, too. But then Margaret told me that I wasn't." And what did you say to that?" Dave teased."Hell, you know me," Frank.
