I wish I could tell you that you were right, but we'll never know who the doctor was. Bella never thinks of him again after she leaves the coffee shop. Thanks for the review, darlin. I appreciate it so much. Much love to you - D

Until next time...here's a quick peek at chapter 14:

I sat down at the counter right in front of her and she stared at me with her hands on her hips. I knew better than to say a word before she did, so we sat in silence for several minutes. She was definitely better at this game than Mrs. Jones was, she would have cracked by now and told me what she wanted. I was getting nervous, fidgeting on the stool and wringing my hands together until finally she took pity on me and spoke.

"Sweetie, what are you doing with kids like that?" She shook her head. "You're a good girl, sweetheart, and they're nothin' but trouble."

I didn't know how to answer without telling her the truth. I had to think fast.

What would Lizzy say?

And then it came to me. "I met them on one of my trips to the city with my Aunt. We became friends and I come and visit them all the time now."

She narrowed her eyes at me and I knew she didn't believe my story.
