"Thanks Jasmine. You were my last hope. I was considering just bringing Gracie to work with me, if you hadn't applied.'' I began. Both of us stood to shake hands. "You're a lifesaver.''
''As are you. You don't know how desperate I was myself,'' she replies, moving from the table and begins walking with me to the door.
''Then I guess we're both doctors,'' I joke. I wasn't sure if she got it based on the confused stare she was giving me. "You get it? Because, doctors save lives? Nevermind. You start Monday.'' I mumble, walking out of the cafe.
You're an idiot, Cole.
