It was a busy afternoon as usual. They tried to accommodate all the patients. His friends were arriving tomorrow afternoon, and he wanted to clear his schedule before they got here.
“Break time, Doc. Do you want some water?” Jane asked him.
“It’s okay. Thanks. I think I need coffee to boost me up. Do you want one? I’ll buy it so I can stretch a bit.” She was always offering to buy even though he could do it himself.
“Just a double-double, Doc. Thanks.”
Tor went to the coffee shop and found Jacklyn at the counter.
“Doc, it’s you.” He noticed her rather dull greeting. She used to be lively when she saw him, but now she seemed unenthusiastic.
“Hi. Can I have a black coffee to go, and a double-double coffee? Thanks.” He left two hundred pesos on the counter.
“This is too much.” Jacklyn
