Shake off those thoughts, Quincy thought as the car neared the hospital.

She made her way straight to the agreed-upon doctor's office and knocked on the door.

Dr. Quincy knew well - a former college buddy who'd spent years abroad before recently returning to start her practice. "Quincy! It's been ages, and look at you, more beautiful than ever. There's this grace about you that just shines through." That had always been Quincy's way.
