Chapter 4
"Hey, you open for business?" A soft voice chuckled and I turned around, smiling brightly.
"Yeah!" I laughed, putting down the suture needle that I found in one of the drawers. "What can I help you with?" I smiled, walking over to the man.

"I'll save the ending for your next visit!" I smiled, standing up and the guy nodded.
"You better!" He smirked before running out.
