He talked to me throughout the exam as if we were on a date—asking me questions about my job and my hobbies. Once the exam was over, he helped me up and wrote out a script for my birth control pills. Suddenly, I had a thought.
“Dr. Williams, how would you like to go on a double date?”
He looked up from his script pad and arched his brow.
“What do you mean?”
“I know someone whom I think you would really like. She’s fun, driven, successful, and she’s gorgeous.”
“Now you have me intrigued. Is she a friend of yours?”
“Yes, and her name is Evelyn. She’s a fashion designer.”
“And you wouldn’t feel awkward, considering I just gave you an exam?”
“Nah. I’d be fine with it as long as you would?”
He shrugged. “Sure. I’d like to meet Evelyn.”
“Great.” I smiled as I got up from the table, reached into my purse, and pulled out my phone. “Give me your number.”
After he rattled it off and I typed it into my phone, I set it up for Friday night at seven o’clock.
“I’ll text you the restaurant when I figure it out.”
“Sounds good. I’ll put it in my calendar.” He grinned as he handed me my script. “Have a good day, Miss Wade, and I look forward to Friday night.”
“You too, Dr. Williams.”
Before walking out the door, he turned and looked at me. “It’s Dylan.”

After leaving the doctor’s office, I decided to call Jackson to see if he was available Friday night.
“Hello there, Miss Wade.”
“Hello, Jackson. Are you available Friday night?”
“Let me check my calendar. As of now, I’m free. Did you want to do something?”
“Yes. I would like to have dinner with you.”
“Just dinner?”
I rolled my eyes and smiled at the same time.
“Actually, it would be a double date. I’m setting Evelyn up with someone.”
“Sounds fun. Count me in.”
“Great. Friday night at seven o’clock.”
“Which restaurant?” he asked.
“I haven’t decided yet. Do you have any suggestions?”
