Choosing one’s battle

"Ariana!"

Ari was on her way to return home, she wanted nothing more than to lie down on the bed with Timmy and tell him what happened throughout the day.

As Ari did not have many friends and most of them had respectful jobs, she didn't intend to disturb them which left her with no choice but to talk to Timmy.

"Doctor Cole?" She turned on her feet to look at the man who had walked over to where she stood.

"Oh please you can call me Cole when we are outside the hospital," Cole said with a glittering smile. His pearly white teeth were on display as he stared down at Ariana, while his body subtly leaned towards her.

Ariana took a step away from the man who had appeared out of nowhere and blinked her eyes confused as she did not understand why Cole had come to look for her.

Ignoring the flirtatious attempt that Cole made on her, Ariana questioned, "Is something the matter, Doctor Cole?"
