[ At Melissa's Penthouse… ]
Melissa sliced through the crystal-clear water of her penthouse pool. She was on her day off today not accepting any consultation.
She reached the edge of the pool and flipped, ready for another lap when she heard the penthouse door open.
She glanced up to see Sasha standing hesitantly by the poolside, her expression a mix of frustration and despair.
After work, Sasha dropped by Melissa's place. She needed a friend to talk to. And only Doc Melissa was available to entertain all her rants.
Melissa slowed her pace and eventually stopped, rising from the water. Droplets cascaded down her toned body as she climbed the steps out of the pool, grabbing a towel from the nearby lounge chair.
"Sasha, what's wrong?" Melissa asked, wrapping the towel around herself and walking over to her friend.
The concern in her voice was genuine, noticing Sasha's troubled look.
