'"Mr. Demovic will be about 10minutes late," the smooth, feminine voice informed Dr. Melissa Price. "Please wait for him."
She started to thank the caller but the line went dead. Sitting back in her leather bound chair, she realized that she now had 20minutes to kill. She decided to call her little sister. She liked to check in with her frequently, even if only for the briefest of exchanges.
"Hey, Suzy, how are you feeling today?"
"I'm doing great." Her sister tried to sound enthusiastic, but her voice was listless. "Just a little tired. You know how it is. Sometimes the dialysis is like that. I'll be better in a few hours."
Melissa knew that the treatments had been taking more out of her sister each time. She needed to get that kidney donation fast but they had been waiting for years. Melissa would have made the donation herself but her blood type was incompatible.
"If you need anything at all, just call me."
"I'm fine, now come on, leave me alone, you've got work to do."
"Actually I'm free for--" the call ended without even a goodbye and Melissa's voice trailed off. The shortness bothered her, but she knew that even a phone call could be exhausting to Suzy on some days, so she set it aside and put the phone down. Her eyes wandered to the degrees and certificates on her office wall. Her graduate degree was from Harvard and her doctorate from Stanford. She had attended both colleges on scholarships and graduated in the 97th percentile. Although an outstanding student, she had not been in practice long and was still trying to build up her business. From struggling to study and pay bills with evening work, now she finally had the letters after her name but less money than ever since you couldn't be a psychotherapist and a waitress at the same time.
This made her current situation with the ethics committee even more galling. One tiny mistake, one human error and her years of study could disappear down the drain.
It didn't seem fair.
Just hang in there. She kept telling herself. We've been through worse times than this. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Just a little longer now. We can beat this.
If her little sister was stoical about her illness, Melissa herself always put on a brave face about the medical bills, but in reality she was already to the point of paying interest only on their accumulated debts. She hadn't said a word to Suzy and promised herself she never would as long as she could keep on making payments.
The ethics committee would have to clear her and the business would have to be a runaway success because there was no other option.
Just hang in there.
She took a small mirror out of her bag to check her appearance. Her auburn hair was pulled back tightly into a neat, if not particularly attractive bun. It made her look more professional which was the desired effect. Her spectacles were serious rather than fashionable and tended to make her look older; something else she needed with her youthful face. The glasses also made her face look thinner, and although petite, she often thought she was a little too rounded. With college, work, looking after her sister, and now setting up a psychotherapy practice as well, she had never had the time to worry about getting into better shape.
Needless to say, dating had been out of the question since forever.'

Scandalous

When is the attraction between a man and a woman too scandalous to be contemplated?

He wants her. She needs him. He's got to have her. She longs for his desire.
