(Kathy's POV)

Waking up the next morning I reach for my phone. I call my boss and explain I think I caught food poisoning. She tells me to go to the doctor and feel better. I really enjoyed dinner last night. I guess the cake was a bad mix with the Chicken Alfredo though. I send Lauren a text asking if she can give me a lift to the doctor. I don't want Nate to see me like this. When she messages saying she is on her way I roll out of bed. I dress in a pair grey, white and black designed leggings and I long sleeve grey shirt. I slip my grey Ugg boots on. When I pull a dark grey scarf and a black sweater out I hear a knock at the door.

When I open the door Lauren rushes in, "are you okay? What's wrong?"

Looking at her I shake my head, "I'm fine, I think I got food poisoning from dinner. I just need a lift to the urgent care." Grabbing my wallet we head out the door.

Sitting in the waiting room I send a text to Nate, 'Hey I won't be able to meet you for lunch. I had to come to the urgent care. I may have caught food poison last night.'

Not five minutes later I get a text, 'I'm sorry. If you would of called me I would have brought you. But, I hope you feel better.'

Smiling I send him, 'Thank you, I had Lauren bring me.'

As I sent that message the nurse called my name. I followed her, letting them take my weight, my temperature, and check my blood pressure. After she finishes I tell her what is wrong. She tells me the doctor will be in in just a few minutes. I lean back in the chair as she leaves. Sitting there waiting for the doctor I think of last night. I had enjoyed dinner. The company had been amazing. I don't understand how I got food poison though. A knock on the door brings me back to the present.

As the door opens I smile and say, "hello.'

The doctor looks at me and smiles, "Tell me what's wrong with you."

After about thirty minutes talking to the doctor he informed me I do in fact have food poisoning. He gave me an excuse for work and a prescription. I just left my pharmacy with my medicine when Lauren asks if we can walk over to the café. I decide I could use something to eat.

Walking across the street we head over to the café. As we turn the corner I freeze. There sitting at one of the outdoor tables is my boyfriend. He is sitting with a very attractive blonde
