Chapter 11
Elli's head shot up from my shoulder and began dragging me towards the town. "Hey, wait, where are we going?"
"I have to cancel my dinner date with Alex."
"Who? Oh yeah, Doc. After you milady." I gave a mock bow, allowing her to pass through the gate first.
"Thank you kind sir." She laughed, walking through the gate and down the cobblestone path towards the town. I went after, and entwined my fingers with hers.
Walking hand in hand, we trudged our way through the snow towards the clinic. As we passed by each house, one by one, lights were being switched on, which I found odd since most of the occupants of the houses had just left my house about an hour ago. In each window, you could see families sitting in front of the Christmas tree, opening presents and dozing off among the remnants of wrapping paper.
Each image had one thing in common. Family. Everyone had someone. No one was alone. I had been on my own for quite some time, ever since I left Nagasaki. Even when I was going out with Karen, I felt lonely. I give Elli's fingers a little squeeze. She smiles and leans against my shoulder. I don't feel lonely anymore.
We stopped in front of the clinic, and as I reached for the doorknob, I asked Elli, "Do you want me to go in with you?" She nodded her head, as I opened the door.
