Ana said her goodbyes to Felix and walked back inside her surgery, walking over to her desk she sat down opening the leather bound diary she kept for appointments and sighed seeing one name on today's date and that was this morning, a farmers son had fallen in some poison ivy whilst playing with his sister, she chuckled lightly remembering the time her own son, Jack had fallen in some poison ivy, she had to tie towels to his hands on an evening to keep his from scratching the rash. Looking at the picture framed on her desk of her and her son, last time they visited Ana's parents in South Carolina her heart became heavy, she missed him dearly, she wished with all her heart that he could come and live out here with her but things were still to dangerous for a child, he was however coming to visit in a few weeks and at least she had that to look forward to.
Standing up she smoothed out the creases in her
dress and grabbed her purse before venturing outside once more. Walking down the boardwalk she smiled at the familiar faces she knew, until she reached her destination, the shop, smirking as she saw her friend Lily talking to a rather handsome stranger, hanging back for a moment not wanting to interrupt their conversation.
