Last Week:

The doctor’s eyes widened just a touch. “You must have come straight here.” 

“I did. Like I said, it was important to me to see that she was okay.” 

Dr. De Luca took a big pull on her soft drink. “The receptionist at the Pine City shelter told me that the director had offered you a job when your sentence was over.”
