A/N: Ummmmm....... Ya seem to like it, so here it is. lol :-)
"Yes", I answered, as I stacked the last book onto my self.
I turned to face the most gorgeous big brown eyes I have ever seen. It was a young woman-around my age, wearing a smart black dress cut just above the knee. She had her hair pulled back in quite a tight bun, but this didn't mask her beauty. At least, not to me.
"Uh...C-Can I help you?"
"Well, I was told to come and find you, because I came here hoping to make an appointment, but then I realised that I can't afford to pay. So the receptionist said that as you're interning you might be able to help me?"
"Well I can try. It'll be nice to have my own patient, instead of studying other people's notes." She seemed nervous. "This is your first time seeing a therapist isn't it?" I questioned.
"Is it that obvious? I don't really know why I'm here. I'm studying Psychology at the moment, along with my M.D. So you'd think I'd be able to help myself?"
"Sometimes it's harder to work out what's going on in your own head, than it is in others." I said, hopping this would comfort her somewhat. "Um, would you like to sit down? Miss…?"
"Sternin. Lilith Sternin." Lilith Sternin… I liked it, it was a beautiful name, and at the same time- professional.
"So. You're studying to become a psychiatrist, and an M.D?"
"Yes. I'm also hoping to become a research scientist. I'd like to study animal behaviour patterns."
Wow! This woman was beautiful and very smart! "So you're hoping to become a doctor, in every sense of the word?" I said jovially.
"Yes." She answered with a slight nervous giggle.
"Well, I assure you I'll do my best to help you Miss Sternin."
"Thank you Dr Crane."
"Please, call me Frasier. As I'm not charging you anything I don't see the need to be so formal."
"Oh, well in that case, call me Lilith."
"So, Lilith. Would you like to start now, or make an appointment?"
"Well, I have to meet a friend in about 10 minutes, so I'll have to make an appointment. But can it be as soon as possible, I really need some help with this?"
"Of course. Well, you're my only patient, so really anytime you like, I'm free?"
"In that case, sometime tomorrow?"
"How about 10 tomorrow morning?"
"That'll be fine. Thank you Dr-Frasier." She said, as she offered me her hand.
"Glad to be of assistance." I replied. As I shook her soft delicate hand, I felt a sudden warm shiver throughout my body. She must have felt it too, because in that split second our eyes met, and neither of us motioned to break apart for quite some time.
