Attending At Twenty-Four

"Are you trying to persuade me to join you in peds, Doctor Rogerstone-Montgumery?" I muse, raising an eyebrow.

"No, I don't do that. That's what the other doctors do, but not me." she shook her head, "I should have no say in what you choose with your career."

"What if I do join peds?"

"I'll be delighted." she answered.

"And if I don't?"

"Well, there's not much I can do about it. I've learned to not get my hopes up when it comes to the paediatrics department."

"Hm." I nod thoughtfully. We finish our lunch in silence and my fellow interns watch us wearily. They probably think we're dating.

That's not what I need.

This story takes place in the far future and is actually one of my Maladaptive Daydreams. None of the characters are real and this in no way, non-fiction.
