The ceiling in his clinic office had apparently collapsed.
He replied within seconds.
He would be home in fifteen minutes.
I placed the phone on the counter and returned to the living room.
“Richard is on his way,” I told Alexis.
Her face brightened immediately.
“Finally,” she said with a satisfied smile.
“I’ve been waiting to surprise him.”
She leaned forward excitedly.
“We’re going to Cabo next week. I already booked the villa and everything.”
“Cabo is beautiful,” I said politely. “Very expensive.”
She laughed.
“Richard is paying for it, obviously. A real man always pays.”
“How long have you two been seeing each other?”
She held up six fingers proudly.
“Six months,” Alexis replied. “The best six months of my life. He buys me everything I want.”
Her smile widened.
