Danielle POV
I quickly write the last notes in the patient chart and submit it to my dad for correction. He will need to code those chart this week and send them to billing . I should be done for the day, I thought after looking at the clock, but with that kind of work, you never know.
I press the speed dial for my secretary and he answers me really quick.
"Paul, any more patient for the day?"
"Luckily no" he answers with amusement.
" Then I better get the hell out of here before they send more."
I Hang up the phone, and fixed the papers that were all over the desk real quick. I was about to take my stuff and leave when I heard a knock at my door.
"It's open" I said annoyingly.
" Sorry to bother you Dr D. but your father just called and say that he is sending you a new patient and ..."
"Like right now? " I asked in disbelief, " but he knows that it's already 5 and and we are having a dinner tonight, and..."
" Dr D." he said to get my attention "the patient is already in the lobby. He is a young man with inability to control his emotions. He fought with his girlfriend two days ago and almost killed her."
Captivating by what he was saying, I quickly asked "any history of anxiety or obsessive compulsive, or even depressive disorder in his family?"
"You are going to have to ask him that" he answers with amusement.
I walk to one of the small couch of the living room where I usually talk to my new patients and took the small iPad that I use to take notes.
"Put all his information in the system, and send him to me when you are done."
"I already put everything" he said smiling.
I smiled back. He is the only secretary who has been working with me for so long. I don't work with women because all the ones who worked with me before were troubles: flirting with all the other doctors in the building, gossiping with the other people in the front desk, and on top of everything, they were not doing their work. Paul is married and respect his place of work. He doesn't leave until he finishes all his task and prepare everything for the next day.
"You can leave early today " I said " go surprise Leila"
"Thank you, but I will leave right after this last patient."
"You've done all I need already, there's no point of you staying, I insist."
" well, thank you Dr. D. Have a good night." He said quickly nodding his head.
"Wait! How many patients are on the schedule for tomorrow?" I asked.
" We have 6 before lunch time and 10 after, which means 16 for now."
"Thanks, and good night."
He gave me another quick nod and left, and next thing I know, I young man inters my office.
After about an hour, he was getting tired of talking about himself and answering my questions and I was tired writing down every important details so I rescheduled with him for Monday.
"It was really nice talking to you " I stated " I know you will probably say that it was not a conversation because you were the only one talking, but in life, a way for communication to exist, there needs to be a sender and a receiver."
He gave a small laugh at my words and shake my hand (something that he didn't do when he got here).
"Thank you "
I looked at his back leaving my office and put a last note in his chart " Patient shows kindness and gratefulness which contradict his avoidant behavior when he first came. Patient will continue his treatment and next appointment is on 02/08/16."
"Oh shoot" I said after looking at the clock " dinner in 30mnts" I thought while putting my phone in my bag and taking off my white coat.
"Freedom!!" I said loudly. I giggle at my silliness while leaving the building and walking to the parking. I entered my Aston Martin, and listened to the sound of the engine and smiled. "Home sweet home " I whispered before playing Selena Gomez album "Revival". Today was a long day and with that family dinner, it's going to be longer.

I got to my parents' house at the same time as my dad, I parked my car right behind his and walked to him. He put his arm around me and we enter the house.
" look who finally decided to show up." Said my sister Brune as soon as we walk in.
She was wearing a long, short sleeves, peach dress and her hair was done in a nice chignon. As all protective mother, she puts a hand on her round belly. All I was able to do was just smile. She was at her seven months and still didn't want to know the sex of the baby. Jake appears right behind her caring two glasses, one Mimosa and one juice. After handing the juice to his wife, he gave me a bear hug then walk to my dad to do the same.
They have been married for two years, and as I know my sister, she has always wanted a long honeymoon. I shake my head at that thought and walked inside to say hi to the rest of the family.
Dinner was just full of talking and, around ten, I was ready to leave. Even if I lived there for my entire life, having my own place has always been better. After saying goodbye to everyone, I hop in my car and drove to my apartment, which was just 15 minutes away.
All I was able to think about was my warm bed and my soft pillow waiting for me, but I really need to shower first.  I enter my apartment and went straight to the bathroom. After a quick shower, I put an oversize t-shirt on and jump into my bed, slide under the covers. "finally" I murmured. I took my phone that was in my bag on the floor and check all the social media before putting the phone on my night table. I was falling as sleep when my work phone ring. I sat real fast in tried to reach my bag on the floor. That phone is never good news, I thought while picking up.
"Doctor Desher" I said with a professional voice
"It's me Danielle" I heard my dad voice on the other line
"Really Dad"
"I knew if I called your personal phone you would totally ignore me. You saw Jacob Green this afternoon right? What time did he leave your office?"
"Oh!" I said not expecting this question, "around 6 or 6:30, why?" I asked
"His girlfriend was found dead about thirty minutes ago. I don't know the time of death but they are going to need you, because according to his lawyer, you were the last person who he talked to and he wants you to be there," he explained me.

My head was now buzzing, "why me Jesus, why me", I said louder than I was expected. "Do they need me now?" I asked my dad with a tired voice.
"No, but tomorrow morning between 8:30 or 9", I will text you the address.
I hang up the phone and lay on my back.
I thought that today was a long day, tomorrow will be longer.
On that last thought, I fall asleep and woke up the next morning at 6:50.
"Let the day begin" I said while getting out of the bed.
