Chapter 40 Aer

A woman in an apron emerged from the kitchen, carrying a baby and a case of beer, yelling, "Table four, stir-fried conch!"

She nudged Henry."Isn't she beautiful? Kind too. Any man marrying her is incredibly lucky."

Sonya blushed."It's my job as a doctor."

Henry laughed. "Saozi, are you trying to set me up with Doctor Ella?"

Mrs. Sterling patted Henry's arm."Behave yourself! Don't scare her."

They all laughed.
