Doc says the town is lucky to have me, which sets me grinning even though it’s not true by a long shot. The two women go off, one looking a lot happier than the other. No sure what that’s about, and don’t know them well enough to ask. More interested in the doctor, anyway.

Turn back to see him fidgeting a little, and I wonder what he’s nervous over. Asks me was I looking for something special, and I wonder if he’s trying to figure out if I have a lover or a sweetheart to buy a gift for. Well that’s easy enough to answer. “Don’t have anyone to buy for,” I tell him. “Going out just seemed better than staying in. Could do with a cup of coffee. Don’t look like you need one, though.” Under the nervousness he still looks pleased as punch to see me, and not tired at all.

“Or,” I say, thinking of something that might get us in a place to talk and maybe do other things a bit sooner. “Should ask you: I got hit on the head in that fight on Thursday, and it bled some. Feels a lot better now, but it still looks pretty bad.” I tip my head down and push the hair back to show him, feeling like an idiot and not at all sure of myself. “Would you mind taking a look at it for me?” I lift my eyes and look up at him, adding “Please?” in a soft tone I hope no one else can hear.
