Dr Drop-Dead Gorgeous

Maggie heard Ben snap his gloves off and then he reappeared from behind the privacy screen.

‘Are you able to help Juliet for the next twenty-four hours, Maggie? I’d like her to avoid driving, heavy lifting and raising her arms above chest height for the next day, just to help prevent any additional soreness.’

‘Yes, I’m still staying at her house.’

‘Great,’ he said as Juliet joined them in front of the screen. ‘I’ll see you both next Friday, then?’

‘Definitely,’ Juliet said, jumping in before Maggie had a chance to reply.

Ben opened the door for them but didn’t follow them out.

‘There you go—that wasn’t so hard, was it?’ Juliet asked as they returned to the reception desk to confirm her remaining appointments. ‘And he sounds like he’s looking forward to seeing you next week too.’

‘I’m sure he’s just making polite conversation.’

‘Time will tell,’ Juliet said with a grin.

Maggie sensed she had more to add but fortunately they were now back in the waiting area and Juliet seemed to decide not to share her opinion with the rest of Ben’s patients, or his staff. But Juliet’s comment got Maggie thinking as she waited for the receptionist to confirm the next appointment—did she want Ben’s remark to be genuine? She was sure it had been said with sincerity—she didn’t doubt that—but did she want him to be looking forward to seeing her again specifically? That thought made her equally nervous and excited and she found herself replaying his words many times over the course of the evening before finally deciding it was what it was—a polite comment with no hidden agenda! As much as she hated to admit it, disappointment accompanied that realisation.
