"Are you free tomorrow, Dr. Sherwood?"
Alan stopped walking and turned to make eye contact with her. He smiled gently and said, "I am. What's up?"
Samantha smiled back. "I just wanted to make it up to you and treat you to the meal I still owe you."
"Oh, you want to treat me to a meal?"
Alan paused for half a second before he said, "Sure. Let me know the location and I'll be there on time."
"Sure."
Samantha sent Alan off at the entrance of the hospital and waved goodbye. "See you tomorrow, Dr. Sherwood."
"See you tomorrow!"
The driver drove off slowly after Alan got into the car.
He looked at Samantha's figure through the rearview mirror, watching as she became further and further away until she was no longer in sight. It was only then that he withdrew his gaze.
After pondering for a moment, he said to his driver who was manning the wheel, "Hey, Martin, could you order a bunch of flowers tomorrow?"
