Her name tag read, “Cynthia.” He let her check all of his vitals on the machines and then asked, “Is there anyone else waiting to see me?”
Cynthia giggled. “Do you think your girlfriend left without you? She’s in the waiting room. Since she’s not immediate family, we couldn’t let her in without your permission. Your friend, Bart, is out there, too. Occasionally, a couple of very large men join them. I think those might be your bodyguards, huh? Probably feelin’ a little guilty about now. But you’re gonna be just fine, sugar.” She patted him on the arm. “Now, would you like me to let that little lady in?”
