Bab 103: 103- Above and Beyond

"I've talked to a doctor about Abigail," he told her when she joined him in the small gallery of her apartment that didn't offer much view except the other older buildings around.

She placed the two coffee cups that she was carrying, on the banister.

He glanced at his phone screen for the umpteenth time, "Sorry!" he showed her, his phone, "expecting a call from Joseph. He had assured me that he would call once he would talk to this surgeon. They used to be neighbors and were quite close."

Marissa bobbed her head, "That's great."

"So," she raised a shoulder, "What did he say? Did he have a look at Abigail's reports?" Marissa had hope in her eyes when she handed him the coffee cup. 

Throwing one arm around her shoulder, he pulled her to him, putting his coffee cup back.

She found him observing the nearby buildings and felt embarrassed, "It doesn't offer a better view here."
