“Thank you for shopping with us and have a wonderful day.” I smiled brightly at Mrs. Franks, who had just spent over three hundred dollars.
Evelyn walked over to me and sighed as she placed her arm on the counter and rested her head on her hand.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Remember that guy, Brent, I told you about? The one whom I met through a mutual friend?”
“Yeah.”
“He canceled our date for tonight.”
“Why?”
“Something came up at work. He said he’d call to reschedule.”
“This was your first date, right?” I asked.
“Yes.”
Stepping out from behind the counter, I hooked my arm around her.
“Guess what?” I smiled.
“What?”
“We’re going on a double date Friday night.”
“Who’s we?” She narrowed her eye.
“You, me, Jackson, and Dylan.”
“Who’s Dylan?”
“He’s a gynecologist, and he’s hot.”
I could hear Katie snickering as she walked past us.
“And how do you know him?”
“He’s an associate at my OB/GYN’s office. He’s single and looking for someone to go out with.”
“How do you know this?” she asked suspiciously.
“Well, I was at the office for my exam and refill for birth control and we got to talking. I think you’d really like him, Evelyn.”
“Why would you talk to an associate there just out of the clear blue? And what doctor just randomly tells you that he’s looking for someone to date?”
“You might as well come clean, Em,” Katie spoke as she stepped behind the counter.
“Come clean about what?” Evelyn placed her hands on her hips.
“Okay, fine.” I put my hands up. “I got an email from him. He’s on Match and wanted to meet me. When I went to see Dr. Grey today, he was at the hospital delivering a baby, so Dr. Williams, Dylan, performed my exam, and we started talking.”
“What?! The guy who wanted to go on a date with you gave you a pelvic exam?”
“Yes. And since he was my doctor today, I told him there was no way we could go out and he agreed. So, I instantly thought of you and set up our date for Friday night.”
“Do you know how crazy that sounds? So let me get this straight, you want to set me up with a man who’s been all up in your Hoo-haw?”
