David bends down to get the fallen implement, and looks like he’s definitely had enough of me. “It’s fine. Now, this is what you’ll need to buy for your own use, or we can loan things out as needed.”
“Nope!” I trill. “I’m good. Got it all. Totally set. In fact, I think we’re good here.”
“But we haven’t discussed a treatment plan!”
I grab my purse off the back of my chair. “And see, I think you were so efficient, I’ve got a handle on things from here. I’ll check in again if there are any problems. Thank you so much for your time.”
Before he can say anything else, I scuttle past him and yank the curtain open. I’m stopped dead in my desperate retreat by a sight I am almost certain I’m hallucinating.
Walking through the therapy pavilion, not ten feet away, is Ben freaking Cleary.
I fight several instincts at once. To dive back behind the curtain. To drop to the floor and army-crawl my way out of here. To run like the coward I am.
“Kat?” he calls. Too late. I’ve been spotted.
“Oh, hey!” I say, managing to keep the shrillness out of my voice far better than I expected. “How’s it going?”
Ben smiles, seeming a little confused, and walks over, a boy of maybe fourteen in tow. “What are you doing here?”
“What?” I ask, trying to think of an appropriate excuse. I notice his tie has tiny Spider-Mans slinging webs all over it. “I was just in the area.” I grab my phone and pretend to read something terribly important. “And actually, I’m running late, so I’ll see you later!”
He looks more confused than ever. “In the area... Wait... Were you looking for me?”
I lower my phone and stare at him. “Why would I be looking for you here?”
Speaking very slowly, he says, “Because I work here.”
My eyes go from Ben to the teen, who is now looking at his own phone, clearly bored as hell. I flash back to our date and rewind to the conversation we had about jobs. We talked about my job, but we got distracted by Ben’s Hail Mary before I could ask about his job. And though he’s been coming into the shop for months to get cupcakes for his coworkers, it never occurred to me to ask him what he and those coworkers do.
Oh my god. David mentioned our cupcakes. What if Ben is the one who brings him those cakes?
“You’re...” I try to swallow, but there’s no moisture in my throat. “You’re a physical therapist?”
The curtain whooshes open farther behind me, and David appears. “Miss Carmichael, you should take these notes with you. They give you some treatment options and some guides to different resources you can find online to assist with the process. Of course, if you need anything, you can give us a call. I, or maybe one of the other therapists, will help however you’ll let us.”
