Soul Mates?
Part 2
Natalie decided to ask Miles first . She found him as always seated at his desk with the latest issue of one of the various medical journals he subscribed to. Taking a seat she reached over and tapped his shoulder to get his attention and said, "Hey."
Miles hadn't heard her approach and he jerked his head up startled at the light touch. "Hey, Nat, when did you sneak in here?" he asked as he stuck a pencil in the journal to mark his place and closed it.
"I didn't sneak in. You had your nose buried in a journal as usual. Anyway, I just came to tell you that I managed to get a couple of tickets to the Classique fundraiser for Friday night," she replied and sat regarding the young doctor.
"That's great. I knew you were really disappointed when you couldn't get a ticket," the young man replied. "So who are you planning on inviting?"
"I thought you might be interested. My friend Trista gave me the tickets since her husband got called away suddenly," Natalie explained.
"Sounds like it'll be a fun night and thanks for the offer. But I think I'm coming down with a cold," Miles answered and sneezed loudly several times as he grabbed for a tissue.
"Come to think of it, you do look kind of flushed," she said and reached a hand out to touch his forehead. "You're running a fever. Go on and go home."
Miles wadded up the tissue and tossed it toward the wastebasket where it joined at least a dozen others already there. "You sure it's okay to do that?" he asked,.
"Doctor's orders," she replied with a smile. "Don't worry about it. I'll let Stephen know and then I'll stop by when I get off work."
Miles quickly gathered up his journals and laptop. "Thanks," he told her.
"Come on, I'll walk you to the door," she said getting to her feet. After making sure that Miles was actually on his way home, she headed her office and sat down to work on a shopping list of just a few things to get before she stopped in to see her friend.
