Kimberlys 'eyes scoured across the restaurant in search for Caroline. The atmosphere was lively, with the sound of clinking glasses and cheerful conversations filling the air. She spotted Caroline and Cillian at a table near the back. Caroline signalling with a wave as they approached.
"Kim," Caroline greeted, a happy smile on her face as she rose to her feet and Cillian did the same.
"Hey, you," they welcomed one another with a half embrace and air-kiss on the cheek. Kimberly turned to Cillian. "Dr Cillian, it's nice to meet you again, but this time as Caroline's fiancé."
"Likewise, Ms Campbell," Cillian replied, shaking her hand.
"Please just Kimberly. There's no need for the formalities now."
"Then I must insist you call me Cillian, and leave out the doctor. After all, you're not my patient now," he said, his smile polite and reserved.
