Good afternoon, Dr. Grant,
I think the paint fumes are helping my cramps. So maybe they’re healthy after all! Scotty seems fine. So who’s to say?
All my best,
Rosalie Belmont
Business Manager and Natural Health Consultant at Rose Hill Records
P.S. How were your “errands”? Did you stop by the bank and make another donation? Bet you didn’t even need a magazine this time.
She giggles as I read it, and I catch Scotty drool while gazing in her direction.
Nurse Rosie,
Scotty does not seem fine. He’s a grown man who introduces himself by a nickname that his friends probably called him when he was the high school quarterback here in town.
Get your laptop and say goodbye to the stray puppy dog so he can finish his work.
My errands were fine. I didn’t use a magazine the first time, and if I were to do it again, I wouldn’t need one either.
Have a happy day!

This time I get an unladylike snort out of her before she looks up and mouths across the room,Bation-Master? I knew she’d like that one.
She throws her head back, laughing.
Then she goes back to typing, and I wait with bated breath to see what she comes back with. I swear the tips of my fingers tingle when her email shows up with bold lettering in my inbox.
Dearest Bation-Master,
OMG! Do you really think he was a quarterback?
Also, if you didn’t use a magazine, what did you think about?
Wait, I bet I can guess.
Was it three commas on your bank account balance?
No. Hmm.
Owning a private plane?
Oh! Or a yacht where all the staff have to wear matching polo shirts in a specific country club color, like “salmon” or something equally bland.
No need to respond. Just blink twice from your throne over there if one of my guesses is correct.
All my best,
Rosalie Belmont
