you.”
    “Me?”
    “Yes, where are you from?”
    “Mattituck, it’s a little town on the........”
    “I know, East end. I like to visit several of the vineyards out there. Where’d you go to school?”
    “Stony Brook, but I...”
    I didn’t think Stony Brook had a pharmacy program - isn’t that what you would be studying?”
    “Actually, I went there for pre-med.”
    “You wanted to be a doctor?
    “Yep.”
    “What happened?”
    “My dad died, and mom was very sick and needed my help.”
    “Sorry to her that. Is your mom ok today?”
    “Sort of. She’s a type one diabetic. She has a pump, too.”
    “How far along in school were you when you dropped out?”
    “I finished my BS degree - majored in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. I entered Columbia Med, but dropped out in my second year.”
    “That’s a shame Kathryn to get that far into it. Any plans to go back?”
    “I guess, if I can get my life together again.”
    “Married?”
    “No. Afraid there’s no time for that either. I really don’t do the boyfriend thing very well, I guess.”
    “Well, you have certainly done very well within your company. I noticed you’re a Vice President. Congratulations, that doesn’t come without hard work. You must be pretty good at what you do. But, I do hope you’ll consider returning to medical school. You’re still young, and we need all the doctors we can get.”
    “You never know, doctor. I just might.”
    “I’m afraid I need to be going, Kathryn. I have a conference call that I must take.” He reached for her hand as he softly spoke. “It certainly was a pleasure talking with you. You are a very interesting young lady. Maybe I’ll see you around, I hope.”
    Kathryn watched as he stood up, turned, and headed for the elevator. As she watched him walk away, all she could say was, “Wow!”

    It wasn’t that far to the Rockne Pharmaceutical Building, and Kathryn decided she would walk back to her office. As she stepped out of the building, she was still smitten over what had just happened inside. The fresh air was welcomed and she paused momentarily, taking a deep breath to comfort her. She felt relieved that she was able to see Dr. Marks, and delighted that he spent so much time talking with her. And though still sensing his intimidation, she felt more like she was on cloud nine, than anything else.
    Perhaps it’s difficult to fully understand the gamut of her feelings. Did she appear happy because she was able to apologize to the doctor? Why would that be true? She really didn’t think that she did anything wrong. Or, maybe, she felt happy because she thought so highly of the doctor. His impeccable credentials impressed her, and she had been quite an admirer for a long time, now.
    She had met the doctor once before in his office, and once again in a hospital. She attended a few presentations he gave, at a local university, and remembers an article he wrote on diabetes that was instrumental in helping her mom.
    Although Kathryn definitely felt relieved and delighted, there were those other emotions that lingered on her mind. She just happened to be very attracted to Dr. Marks. The kind of attraction that stops you dead in your tracks and takes your breath away.
    You are just such a dreamboat, Dr. Marks. Why can’t I find someone like you?

    Once back in her office, she checked her calendar, figured she had a few minutes, and grabbed the phone and called Suki.
    “Hi, it’s me. I did it. I actually went to the cafeteria as we discussed and sat and talked with Doctor Marks.”
    “You’re kidding, he sat and talked?”
    “Yep!”
    “I can’t wait to hear. What was he like?”
    “Very intimidating. Smart and interesting. Very smooth.”
    “Smooth?”
    “Yeah, like very cool. Everything came out of his mouth so perfectly, as if he was expecting me. Everything seemed planned and he knew just what to say.”
    “So, now you think he was hot?”
    “Suki?”
    “What? Are you going to tell me
