Marrying the Man in the Dark

Cherise and Damien decided to postpone their planned outing until the following week after the incident that occurred yesterday.

Damien would be occupied with his business matters, while Cherise would be fully engrossed in her new job. Their children also expressed the need for some time to adjust to their new surroundings.

On the second day in Adania, Cherise reached out to the doctor recommended by the director of Lermille Hospital.

“Are you Dr. Shaw?” she asked.

The doctor on the other end responded eagerly, “You’ve finally contacted us!”

We represent the Adania Medical Research Institute. We were thrilled when Dr. Keeples recommended you. We didn’t expect you to reach out to us!”

Cherise was taken aback and stammered, “You mean… your institute is in Adania?”

“Yes, indeed!”

The doctor on the other end of the line responded amiably, “Dr. Shaw, would you available for an interview?”

“If you’re out of town, we can certainly wait…”

“There’s no need for that.”
